Oscar Wilde
“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”
Albert Einstein

George Bernard Shaw
“The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.”
Denis Diderot
“I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms. He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas.”
Voltaire
“All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher.”
Ambrose Bierce
“Those who never philosophized until they met with disappointments, have mostly become disappointed philosophers”
Arthur Helps
