Jean-Paul Sartre - Existentialism and Human Emotions
I am responsible for everything, in fact, except for my very responsibility, for I am not the foundation of my being. [...] To make myself passive in the world, to refuse to act upon things and upon Others is still to choose myself, and suicide is one mode among others of being-in-the-world. [...] "Why was I born?" or curse the day of my birth or declare that I did not ask to be born, for these various attitudes toward my birth-i.e, toward the fact that I realize a presence in the world-are absolutely nothing else but ways of assuming this birth in full responsibility and of making it mine.Saturday, May 31, 2008

Bertrand Russell - The Problems of Philosophy
Philosophy is to be studied, not for the sake of any definite answers to its questions, since no definite answers can, as a rule, be known to be true, but rather for the sake of the questions themselves; because these questions enlarge our conception of what is possible, enrich our intellectual imagination and diminish the dogmatic assurance which closes the mind against speculation; but above all because, through the greatness of the universe which philosophy contemplates, the mind is also rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good.
