"Is beauty enhanced or adulterated by utility?"

"Success is not an activity but a process."

"We are here and it is now. The way I see it is, after that, everything tends towards guesswork."

"Frivolous Gossip and Poetry It's just so much frivolous gossip to dwell upon the moral merits of a poet;what should only concern the reader is the merit of his words.Leave moral judgments to the preachers and aesthetic judgments to the critical readers."

"Who has not, a hundred times, found himself committing a vile or silly action for no other reason than because he knows he should not? Have we not a perpetual inclination, in the teeth of our best judgement, to violate that which is Law, merely because we understand it to be such?"

"Philosophy begins in wonder. And at the end when philosophic thought has done its best the wonder remains."

"Maybe I should have gone into politics. If you were a political activist, election season brought moments of intensity, whichever side you were on, and meanwhile here I was inarguably withering away,"
