Audrey: May 2005

deep thoughts by Audrey's philosophers....

“The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.”

Bertrand Russell quotes (English Logician and Philosopher 1872-1970)

"Identity would seem to be the garment with which one covers the nakedness of the self; in which case, it is best that the garment be loose, a little like the robes of the desert, through which one's nakedness can always be felt, and, sometimes, discerned."

James Baldwin (1976)
