"This sense of wonder is the mark..." - Quote by Socrates
This sense of wonder is the mark of the philosopher. Philosophy indeed has no other origin.
More by Socrates
“Wisdom belongs in wonder.”
“True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing. And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all.”
“Those then who know not wisdom and virtue, and are always busy with gluttony and sensuality, go down and up again as far as the mean; and in this region they move at random throughout life, but they never pass into the true upper world; thither they neither look, nor do they ever find their way, neither are they truly filled with true being, nor do they ever taste of pure and abiding pleasure.”

“Other people are likely not to be aware that those who pursue philosophy aright study nothing but dying and being dead. Now if this is true, it would be absurd to be eager for nothing but this all their lives, and then to be troubled when that came for which they had all along been eagerly practicing.”
“The error of those who reason by precedents drawn from antiquity, respecting the rights of man, is that they do not go far enough into antiquity.”
“Wisdom is the abstract of the past, but beauty is the promise of the future.”
