“A dog has the soul of a philosopher.”

“No philosophers so thoroughly comprehend us as dogs and horses.”

“It has been a long time since philosophers have read men’s souls. It is not their task, we are told. Perhaps. But we must not be surprised if they no longer matter much to us.”

“A habitual indulgence in the inarticulate is a sure sign of the philosopher who has not learned to think, the poet who has not learned to write, the painter who has not learned to paint, and the impression that has not learned to express itself--all of which are compatible with an immensity of genius in the inexpressible soul.”

“[L]e philosophe n'a jamais tué de prêtres et le prêtre a tué beaucoup de philosophes...(The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.)”

“The philosopher's soul dwells in his head, the poet's soul is in his heart; the singer's soul lingers about his throat, but the soul of the dancer abides in all her body.”
