“If I advance new views in Philosophy or Theology, I cannot expect to have many adherents among minds altogether unprepared for such views; yet it is certain that even those who most fiercely oppose me will recognize the power of my voice if it is not a mere echo; and the very novelty will challenge attention, and at last gain adherents if my views have any real insight.” IfsMindRealPhilosophyLastsCertainVoiceChallengesViewsAttentionGainsMereInsightTheologyEchoesNoveltyUnprepared Author:George Henry Lewes
“If you dropped me off a space platform onto the ground where a line was drawn, I would fall to the left side of it. I believe the difference between right and left is that the right, for the most part, the bulk of their philosophy is interested in property, and the rights of people to own property and gain and acquire and keep property. And I think on the left - though they blend and mix - on the left primarily you will find people who are more concerned about humans, and the human condition, and what can be done.” PeopleIfsThinkingBelieveHumansDonePhilosophyFallLeftI BelieveSidesDifferencesLinesSpaceRightsConditionsGainsConcernedPropertyAcquireHuman ConditionPlatforms Author:George Carlin
“Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future, predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings. Far from me, and far from my friends be such frigid philosophy as may conduct us indifferent and unmoved over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery, or virtue.

“It requires something more than personal experience to gain a philosophy or point of view from any specific event. It is the quality of our response to the event and our capacity to enter into the lives of others that help us to make their lives and experiences our own. In my own case my convictions have derived and developed from events in the lives of others as well as from my own experience. What I have seen meted out to others by authority and repression, economic and political, transcends anything I myself may have endured.” WellsMayPhilosophyHelpingPoliticalMy OwnViewsQualityCasesEconomicEventsAuthorityGainsCapacityResponseConvictionPoint Of ViewRepressionPersonal ExperiencesLives Of Others Book:Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader Source: Red Emma Speaks: An Emma Goldman Reader

“Scientific wealth tends to accumulate according to the law of compound interest. Every addition to knowledge of the properties of matter supplies the physical scientist with new instrumental means for discovering and interpreting phenomena of nature, which in their turn afford foundations of fresh generalisations, bringing gains of permanent value into the great storehouse of natural philosophy.” MeanMatterPhilosophyLawValuesTurnsInterestNaturalWealthGainsScientistFoundationPropertyPermanentPhenomenonDiscoveringAccumulationSuppliesCompoundsInterpretingGeneralizationCompound InterestNatural PhilosophyGeneralisationProperties Of Matter Author:Lord Kelvin
