Philosophers Are Adults Who Persist

True Knowledge Is Knowledge Of Why Things Are As They Are, And Not Merely What They Are.

Only Barbarians Are Not Curious About Where They Come From, How They Came To Be Where They Are, Where They Appear To Be Going, Whether They Wish To Go There, And If So, Why, And If Not, Why Not.

No Perfect Solution Is, Not Merely In Practice, But In Principle, Possible In Human Affairs, And Any Determined Attempt To Produce It Is Likely To Lead To Suffering, Disillusionment And Failure.

We Are Doomed To Choose And Every Choice May Entail Irreparable Loss.

There Is No A Prior Reason For Supposing That The Truth, When It Is Discovered, Will Necessarily Prove Interesting.
