Philosopher Quotes

Thinking about what it means to think.

These philosopher quotes play with the label itself, from a line insisting the philosopher's existence proves the philosopher, to writers who reject the title outright in favor of 'artist' or 'fictionalizing philosopher.' Compare it with Existence quotes.

The philosopher proves that the philosopher exists. The poet merely enjoys existence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do these philosopher quotes actually debate?

Several question what qualifies someone as a philosopher, contrasting the label with being an artist, novelist, or poet.

Do any quotes reject the philosopher label?

Yes, one speaker insists they're an artist rather than a philosopher, and another calls themselves a fictionalizing philosopher instead of a novelist.

Is appearance mentioned in connection with philosophy?

What's the common thread across these quotes?

One quote even jokes that a beard and cloak alone don't make a philosopher, a reminder that the role is earned rather than worn. See also Artist and Am quotes.
