Philosophy may describe unreasoning, as it may describe force; it cannot hope to refute them.

George Santayana 613 quotes

Philosophers are as jealous as...

Philosophers are as jealous as woman; each wants a monopoly of praise.

George Santayana 613 quotes

Saints cannot arise where there have been no warriors, nor philosophers where a prying beast does not remain hidden in the depths.

George Santayana 613 quotes

To be bewitched is not to be saved, though all the magicians and aesthetes in the world should pronounce it to be so.

George Santayana 613 quotes

Every real object must cease to be what it seemed, and none could ever be what the whole soul desired.

George Santayana 613 quotes

A sanctity hangs about the sources of our being, whether physical, social, or imaginary.

George Santayana 613 quotes

There is no dunce like a mature dunce.

George Santayana 613 quotes

Nature is like a beautiful wom...

Nature is like a beautiful woman that may be as delightfully and as truly known at a certain distance as upon a closer view; as to knowing her through and through; that is nonsense in both cases, and might not reward our pains.

George Santayana 613 quotes

George Santayana 613 quotes

George Santayana 613 quotes

Well-bred instinct meets reason halfway

George Santayana 613 quotes

Spirituality lies in regarding existence merely as a vehicle for contemplation, and contemplation merely a vehicle for joy.

George Santayana 613 quotes

The scientific value of truth ...

The scientific value of truth is not, however, ultimate or absolute. It rests partly on practical, partly on aesthetic interests. As our ideas are gradually brought into conformity with the facts by the painful process of selection,-for intuition runs equally into truth and into error, and can settle nothing if not controlled by experience,-we gain vastly in our command over our environment. This is the fundamental value of natural science

George Santayana 613 quotes

There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval. The dark background which death supplies brings out the tender colours of life in all their purity.

Memory itself is an internal rumour.

George Santayana 613 quotes

A way foolishness has of revenging itself is to excommunicate the world.

George Santayana 613 quotes

Progress, far from consisting ...

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.
