“I always say Manny [Ramirez] is a strange guy. Outwardly, he's happy-go-lucky. On the inside, he's got a lot of conspiracy theories going on. I would say Manny might be one of these guys when he's 50 years old, he might be in his house with all the blinds shut kind of looking out like the CIA's out there. You don't know, man. I mean, you don't know what's going on in the interior with him.

“Evolution throws a wonderful light on all the struggles, eccentricities, tortuous developments of the human conscience in the past. It is the only theory of morals that does. And evolution throws just as much light on the ethical and social struggle today; and it is the only theory that does. What a strange age ours is from the religious point of view! What a hopeless age from the philosopher's point of view! Yet it is a very good age, the best that ever was. No evolutionist is a pessimist.” HumansDoeLightAgeTodayPastSocialReligiousViewsMoralStruggleWonderfulAtheismStrangeTheoryDevelopmentEvolutionConscienceVery GoodPhilosopherPoint Of ViewHopelessEthicalPessimistEccentricity Author:Joseph McCabe
“While the poet entertains he continues to search for eternal truths, for the essence of being. In his own fashion he tries to solve the riddle of time and change, to find an answer to suffering, to reveal love in the very abyss of cruelty and injustice. Strange as these words may sound I often play with the idea that when all the social theories collapse and wars and revolutions leave humanity in utter gloom, the poet--whom Plato banned from his Republic--may rise up to save us all.” TryingMayIdeasWarPlaySufferingHumanitySocialSoundAnswersFashionStrangePoetTheoryRevolutionEternalEssenceInjusticeSolveCrueltyRepublicCollapsePlatoAbyssGloomRiddleBannedTime And ChangeSocial Theory Book:Aspects of I.B.

“... the word "theory" ... was originally an Orphic word, which Cornford interprets as "passionate sympathetic contemplation" ... For Pythagoras, the "passionate sympathetic contemplation" was intellectual, and issued in mathematical knowledge ... To those who have reluctantly learnt a little mathematics in school this may seem strange; but to those who have experienced the intoxicating delight of sudden understanding that mathematics gives, from time to time, to those who love it, the Pythagorean view will seem completely natural.” GivingMayLittlesSeemsSchoolUnderstandingNaturalViewsHistoryStrangeTheoryIntellectualMathematicsPassionateDelightMathematicalContemplationSympathetic Book:History of Western Philosophy Source: History of Western Philosophy
“Now, by and large, people are recording material to put on YouTube. I have a theory that YouTube is, in the end, the #1 media for musicians. Which is strange, because there's a visual associated with it.” PeopleEndsMediaStrangeMaterialsTheoryMusicianVisualsYoutube Author:Travis Morrison
“Some philosophers think that the idea of a consequentialist virtue theory is strange, but the real strength of consequentialism is that it can emulate the requirements of other moral theories when it is the case that acting on those theories would improve the world.” ThinkingWorldIdeasRealActingMoralCasesVirtueStrangeTheoryPhilosopherRequirementsEmulateReal StrengthConsequentialism Author:Dale Jamieson
