definite quotes
I'll give you a definite maybe.
Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answerscan, asa rule, be knowntobetrue, but rather for the sake of the questions themselves; because these questions enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our intellectual imagination, and diminish the dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against speculation; but above all because, through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.
Iown Ilike definiteforminwhat myeyesaretorest upon; and if landscapes were sold, likethe sheets of characters of my boyhood, one penny plain and twopence coloured, I should go the length of twopence every day of my life.
