US Presidential Election Day

!
(haha just felt like writing that!)


well this is gonna be one long entry because I've decided to do part II of my philosophy quotes: hope you guys won't be pissed!
- The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.
-There are two sides to every question. *
-One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and , if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. *
-If most of us are ashamed of shabby clothes and shobby furniture, let us be more ashamed of shabby ideas and shoddy philosophy (AE)
-There is nothing more wholesome for us than to find problems that quite transcend our powers.
-Scientists always have the conceit that we have discovered the ultimate truth and pity the people in the past for their ignorance. We forget that people in the future will be looking back and pitying us. *
-Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind.(AE)
- Behold! human shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave (allegory of the cave)
- The way that can be spoken of is not the constant way; The name that can be named is not the constant name.* (this is for you Sof!)
-When you want to believe in something you also have to believe in everything that’s necessary for believing in it.*
-I know that I exist; the question is, what is this “I” that I know? (Descartes)
-The spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger. *
-The biography is considered complete if it merely accounts for six or seven selves, whereas a person may well have as many thousand.(?)
-There exists no kind of spiritual substance or entity of a different nature from that of which matter is composed.


ps. A quote with a* after it means that I agree with it. (AE) = Albert Einstein (?) = what the heck does this mean? And for those, please send me your feedback!


And for humour: How many monists does it take to change a light bulb?
Silly question. There is only ONE monist.
And that's all!... pheww... that was A LOT of writing... will continue next week!
