From “What Is Philosophy?”

Only when you challenge your understanding of how some people view the world, can you decide for yourself if theirs is a view worth having.

World Views

All you have is a brain. And the goal of philosophy is for you to use your brain to come up with the answers that make the most sense to you.

From “via Facebook”

There seems to be a massive misunderstanding in the world right now about weakness and strength. We've somehow gotten to the point that many think compassion is a sign of weakness, and ruthlessness a sign of strength. It makes me a little bit sick. Compassion is the ultimate expression of strength.…

From “Some Rough Advice for the "Real World"”

You’re on a path. You don’t know where it’s going, and that would be boring if you did.

There’s one thing that you are making every day, no matter what you’re doing, and that is yourself. That is your job. And you must do it well.

We are all exceptional and none of us are.

No one changes the world alone and no one doesn’t change it at all.

You didn’t go to school to learn how to get a job, you went to school to learn! And you did it! You know more stuff now!

From “Seeing Myself Through a Cat's Eyes”

The relationship between people and cats is one of the only relationships with another species that people don’t dominate.

That’s one of the great services that cats provide: they get in your way. They say ‘Hey, stop what you’re doing. Me! I’m beautiful! And soft! Stop with the computer-staring and give me some chin-scratches.’ They lead by example, showing us that it is okay to sometimes just exist.

From “Doing the Hard”

Just jump into that cold pool of that thing that you don’t wanna do. And if you can't, don’t be too hard on yourself.

I have no scientific evidence for this, but sometimes I feel like you can only do so many things you don’t want to do before you just accidentally eat a whole ice cream cake.

Every single morning, the question is pretty pressing: do I do the thing that will make me happy right now, or the thing that will make me happier in the long term? Not even that long term, really; we’re talking like 20 minutes from now.

From “The Politics of "Parks and Rec"”

Beneath it all, there’s something that works here and that thing, I think, is just respect.

From “Yellowstone”

Everything constant is a lie, and my life continues to remind me of that. We want stability, but we can’t have it. And that’s both sad and wonderful.

From “We're All Gonna Die”

The marvellous truth of it all is that, death is such a gift, because the only reason we can die is that we even live.

From “Who Am I?!”

These tools that we use to help us define ourselves, to help us figure out who we are, they are fine as tools. But they are not walls to box ourselves in with.

We look to books and Buzzfeed quizzes and personality tests and horoscopes to tell us who we might be, to see what others might think, to tell us that we are doing a good job of becoming the kind of person we want to be, and to tell us that it’s okay to be the kind of person that you are. But all of…

'Myself' is just a story that I tell to myself that is just like any other story: subjective, and incomplete, and at least a little bit of a lie.

From “Thanks, Lemon”

I learned that feeling valued and knowing that you matter is much more about how you think of others than about how others think of you.
