"[On the metaphysical:] ... I knew in..." - Quote by Mae West

“His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork.”

“She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.”

“Don't forget honey. Never let one man worry your mind. Find 'em, fool 'em and forget 'em.”

“He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.”

“If the universe is everything, and scientists say that the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?”

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.”

“Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.”

“For creation is not a change, but that dependence of the created existence on the principle from which it is instituted, and thus is of the genus of relation; whence nothing prohibits itbeing in the created as in the subject. Creation is thus said to be a kind of change, according to the way of understanding, insofar as our intellect accepts one and the same thing as notexisting before and afterwards existing.”

“With regard to philosophical metaphysics, I always see increasing numbers who have attained to the negative goal, but as yet few who climb a few rungs backwards; one ought to look out, perhaps, over the last steps of the ladder, but not try to stand upon them.”
