The philosopher must be above all a free man, and not a slave of the p — Philosophy

"Philosophy is explicitness, generality, orientation and assessment. That of which one would insinuate, thereof one must speak."

"Making itself intelligible is suicide for philosophy."

"Philosophy begins where religion ends, just as by analogy chemistry begins where alchemy runs out, and astronomy takes the place of astrology."

"To repeat abstractly, universally, and distinctly in concepts the whole inner nature of the world, and thus to deposit it as a reflected image in permanent concepts always ready for the faculty of reason, this and nothing else is philosophy."

"Much can be left unstated. But if nothing is discredited, it is not philosophy."

"It was pretty cool to know that someone else was wondering about all the shit I was wondering about even two thousand years ago—even though it made me a bit sad to realize that meant nobody had figured anything out in all of that time."
