She was vocal about the role of women in philosophy and the underrepresentation of African thinkers in education.

"Reality contains matter and non-matter"
"Africa is the only continent that uses foreign language as a medium of expression in institutions of learning despite the reports of many studies confirming the fact that the mother tongue is the best medium of instruction that facilitates better understanding of knowledge"
"Prof. Sophie Oluwole believed in and advanced the contribution of Africa to global discourse and civilisation. She confronted issues head on and made frequent appearances on television to advance the cause that she believed in."
"I am particularly interested in what made her compare Orunmila with Socrates in her book."
"In Africa, you share what you have. Our sense of hospitality is communal. It will be improper for me to have such an important visitor without letting her also have a sense of the environment."
