The value given to the testimony of any feeling must depend on our whole philosophy, not our whole philosophy on a feeling.

What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.

I am interested in study, reflection, philosophy - but always as a dilettante. I also consider myself a dilettante as a painter.

Bertrand Russell

The philosophies that have been inspired by scientific technique are power philosophies, and tend to regard everything non-human as mere raw material.

It is, in our day, the most dangerous form, and the one against which a sane philosophy should provide an antidote

Bertrand Russell

Those who advocate common usage in philosophy sometimes speak in a manner that suggests the mystique of the 'common man.'

Bertrand Russell

The doctrine (of) maintaining that the language of daily life, with words used in their ordinary meanings, suffices for philosophy . . . I find myself totally unable to accept . . . .

We need to keep playing more in Ohio. It's that simple. We don't have enough tournaments here.

Brad Shaw

We have to start believing. (Our standings points deficit) now seems manageable.

Jim Tressel

Yeah, it makes you uncomfortable because we're not 35 points better. It's still going to be about what we do.

Al Davis

We didn't score enough points with the firepower we have.

China Mieville

'Kraken' is set in London and has a lot of London riffs, but I think it's more like slightly dreamlike, slightly abstract London. It's London as a kind of fantasy kingdom.

I think everybody's starting to realize, we've got to make it work. We've got to get through it.

Carrie Underwood

At first, it was hard to sit down and read the things that people were saying. A lot of people would've worked their way up to this position and would've gotten a thick skin over a few years' time. For me, though, all this happened in a few months.

Carrie Underwood

I stopped eating beef at 13 and stopped eating all meat a few years ago. I would feel guilty that what was on my plate was walking around yesterday. Either I could live with that or stop eating meat. I choose the latter, and I'm happier for it.

Carrie Underwood

I feel like I am a celebrity for no reason, like people are resentful I didn't have to play bars for 10 years to get a record deal.
