Stupid Life Quotes

“The philosopher ... subjects experience to his critical judgment, and this contains a value judgment namely, that freedom from toil is preferable to toil, and an intelligent life is preferable to a stupid life.

And yet I would prefer to die of love. Its the only swindler, after Judas, that can kill with a kiss.”
