#metaphysics

"Time is the Mind of Space."

"Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun."

"In meetings philosophy might work,on the field practicality works."

"Metaphysics means nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly. The fundamental conceptions of psychology are practically very clear to us, but theoretically they are very confused, and one easily makes the obscurest assumptions in this science without realizing, until challenged, what internal difficulties they involve."

"A bridge of silver wings stretches from the dead ashes of an unforgiving nightmareto the jeweled vision of a life started anew."

"...an optimistic mind-set finds dozens of possible solutions for every problem that the pessimist regards as incurable."

"Inevitably it follows that anyone with an independent mind must become 'one who resists or opposes an authority or established convention': a rebel. ...And if enough people come to agree with—and follow—the REBEL, we now have a DEVIL. Until, of course, still more people agree. And then, finally, we have ... GREATNESS."

"After your death, you will be what you were before your birth."

"Theology, philosophy, metaphysics, and quantum physics are merely ways for God to have his smart people believe in him"

"What is more precious: a thousand answers derived from one question? Or, one answer…from a thousand questions?"

"Time (again, Time) like the soul, wears many faces, many bodies and climates and attitudes. The past is one face, the present a second and the future yet another."

"In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded."

"A philosopher is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn't there. A theologian is the man who finds it."

"Don't live by my words, don't die by them, chew them slowly digest them, and smile if they give nourishment to your soul."

"Can all this just be an accident? Or could there be some alien intelligence behind it?"

"What is this slow blue dream of living, and this fevered death by dreaming?"

"I've often thought that there isn't any "I"at all; that we are simply the means of expression of something else; that when we think we are ourselves, we are simply the victims of a delusion."

"Each star is a mirror reflecting the truth inside you."

"The menu is not the meal."

"Why are there beings at all, instead of Nothing?"
