Rate a quote, Post a quote

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. :smiley: 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. :wink:

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 :laughing:

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 :unamused: ) 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. :smiley: 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)

P.S. the men here arent bores,they have class and a shit load of wise ass remarks.

“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:
