So, who is your favorite philosopher? I assume you have all read at least one book on ideas. Right?

Marcus Arelius and Thomas More. Yes, I know ole Marcus went after the Christians, but I think he got some bad information.

Henry David Thoreau

Who said, "Little minded peoples thoughts move in such small circles that five minutes conversation with them is enough to determine their whole curve. The arc of a large intellect does not sensibly differ from a straight line."

Monty Python, from memory:

"Immanuel Kant was a real pissant,
who was very rarely stable
Heidigger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the table,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene De Carte was a drunken fart,
"I drink therefore I am!"
