Philosophy ... bears witness to the deepest love of reflection, to absolute delight in wisdom.
Men who are lovers of wisdom [i.e., philosophers] must be inquirers into many things.
There's simply no philosophizing without a love of wisdom, absolutely.
Philosophy is in fact a quest for wisdom based in sophia; that quest for wisdom has everything to do with a love of wisdom.
The word philosophy sounds high-minded, but it simply means the love of wisdom. If you love something, you don't just read about it; you hug it, you mess with it, you play with it, you argue with it.
Those whose hearts are fixed on Reality itself deserve the title of Philosophers.
Even if I am but a pretender to wisdom, that in itself is philosophy.
Women do not often fall in love with philosophers.
