The difference between the philosopher
and the non-philosopher
is a matter of pronouns.
For the non-philosopher, comments about human behavior
begin with "They do this..." or "They do that..."
For the philosopher, comments about human behavior
begin with "We do this..." or "We do that..."

A related quote from Victor Hugo:
ReplyDeleteIntelligence is the wife,
imagination is the mistress,
and memery is the servant.
Memery is the servant.
DeleteWas that a typo or a Freudian slip?
Meowry is never a servant.
ReplyDeleteVH sounds a bit like
a vieux pervers
(dirty old man)
There are no "typos,"
Deletethere is only creative spelling.
Meowry is never a servant
because any home with a feline presence
is the Kingdom Of The CAT.
The "vieux pervers" and the brilliant novelist
are not mutually exclusive,
gender notwithstanding.
