Well i’m pretty sure a lot of you know how this works, you post a quote and rate the previous one, I wanted to have this topic because, reading through the pages i have seen many quotes of people famous or not, being written. and i was just wondering what the best philosophical quotes are. this would also be a good place to post your own quotes that you have thought up, because i know there are some great minds here that have som good quotes.
well i’ll start off the topic, this is one of my “own” quotes i guess, since i havent’ heard or seen anyone famous say it >
- me
Like the idea. What sort of rating? 1-10? Stars? Critical paragraph?
oops sorry forgot to mention that, yea let’s keep it simple (unlike most things here lol ) 1-10 scale should be enought, with comments of course
7/10

Very nice, is that from The Laws ? 8.28/10
The opening remarks of Sartre in his essay “Existentialism is a Humanism,” a defense for Existentialism in general:
“First, it has been charged with inviting people to remainn in a kind of desperate quietism because, since no solutions are possible, we should have to consider action in this world as quite impossible. We should then end up in a philosophy of contemplation; and since contemplation is a luxury, we come in the end to a bourgeois philosophy. The communists in particular have made these charges.”
Plecostomus sucks.
all very nice, i have a famous one from Nietzche

And rightly so. Somebody has to clean up the slime.
Atalanta, you like that one do you? you aint seen nothin yet. but one thing bothers me:someone said you were a man,yet you had a woman’s name on the intro.thread. Men are always curious on this…

“it’s not if you win or lose but how you play the game” - in the line of fire(movie)

0/10. i hate big complex quotes,complexity is a poor cover for quality.
Quote:
I begin with the principle that all men are bores. Surely no one will prove himself so great a bore as to contradict me in this. (Soren Kierkegaard)

“Everybody needs money, that’s why they call it money”
- Danny DeVito i think from the movie where Swartz gets pregnant.
consider the social constructionist implications
(but you didnt rate my quote first)
So, how would you rate your own quote? I gave it a 8.033 on the funny-meter!
Call me strange, but I had a dream that involved Kurt Cobain. He was walking towards me from down a dirty hallway, and he stopped before me and said “Don’t make it, create it”. He then vanished.
So I take my quote, “Don’t make it, create it” , and believe it means that you should not be re-creating things that are already there, but that you should be inventing, and making something new and of your own idea.
lol drift’s quote:
get’s 10 from me lol
