Common-sense knowledge is prompt, categorical, and inexact. - Susanne Langer

Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.

Philosophizing is a process of making sense out of experience, rather than adding to experience itself, as factual learning and experimental investigation do.

Philosophical questions are not by their nature insoluble. They are, indeed, radically different from scientific questions, because they concern the implications and other interrelations of ideas, not the order of physical events; their answers are interpretations instead of factual reports, and their function is to increase not our knowledge of nature, but our understanding of what we know.
