I'm studying for my philosophy midterm (blah blah explaining theories and how they progressed and criticize eachother etc.) Kinda frusterating me because I don't like philosophy as an academic subject (although obviously as you can see from my other posts that I love it in general.) So yes, I am being a nerd thoroughly enjoying the occasional witty or profound quote.
"From what source things arise, to that they return of necessity when they are destroyed; for they suffer punishment and make reparation to one another for their injustice according to the order of time."
Basically, Anaximander's dark quote is saying that we are disturbing the purity of being (whoa), and must pay for this with death. Pessimistic, yes, but an interesting view point about our existence.
"Eternity is a child playing."
"The most beautiful cosmos is a heap of sand poured out at random."
I need to make a collection somewhere ha.
