Verslavend, die Nicolas Gomez Davila.

"The fool is scandalized and laughs when he notices that philosophers contradict each other.
It is difficult to make the fool understand that philosophy is precisely that: the art of contradicting each other without canceling each other out."

"The philosopher becomes unbalanced easily; only the moralist tends not to lose his reason."

"Metaphysical problems do not haunt man so that he will solve them, but so that he will live them."

"The fragment is the medium of expression of one who has learned that man lives among fragments." 

En de allermooiste:

"The philosopher is not the spokesman of his age, but an angel imprisoned in time."
