- "One cannot step twice in the same river." - Heraclitus (ca. 540 - ca. 480 BCE) Heraclitus definitely isn't alone here. His message was that reality is constantly changing it's an ongoing process rather than a fixed and stable product. Buddhism shares a similar metaphysical view with the idea of annica, the claim that all reality is fleeting and impermanent. In modern times Henri Bergson (1859 - 1941) described time as a process that is experienced. An hour waiting in line is different from an hour at play. Today contemporary physics lends credence to process philosophy with the realization that even apparently stable objects, like marble statues, are actually buzzing bunches of electrons and other subatomic particles deep down.

- For Camus, the absurd hero is Sisyphus, a man from Greek mythology who is condemned by the gods for eternity to roll up a stone up a hill only to have it fall back again as it reaches the top. For Camus, Sisyphus typified all human beings: we must find a meaning in a world that is unresponsive or even hostile to us. Sisyphus, Camus believed, affirms life, choosing to go back down the hill and push the rock again each time. Camus wrote: "The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide." - Albert Camus (1913 - 1960) Camus' solution to the philosophical problem was to recognize and embrace life's absurdity. Suicide, though, remains an option if the absurdity becomes too much. Indeed Camus' own death in a car crash was ambiguous. Was it an accident or suicide? For Camus, the absurd hero is Sisyphus, a man from Greek mythology who is condemned by the gods for eternity to roll up a stone up a hill only to have it fall back again as it reaches the top.

- I can't even count how many times I use this quote and have used it in my life. Countless and for at least the last 12 years. 1. "The unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates (470-399 BCE) Socrates' [wiki] belief that we must reflect upon the life we live was partly inspired by the famous phrase inscribed at the shrine of the oracle at Delphi, "Know thyself." The key to finding value in the prophecies of the oracle was self-knowledge, not a decoder ring. Socrates felt so passionately about the value of self-examination that he closely examined not only his own beliefs and values but those of others as well. More precisely, through his relentless questioning, he forced people to examine their own beliefs. He saw the citizens of his beloved Athens sleepwalking through life, living only for money, power, and fame, so he became famous trying to help them.

- Undoubtably some great quotes, but don't know who rated them to be the most important ??Whosoever did it had the authority to do so ? at whose behest? Anyhow, I did like "The unexamined life is not worth living" - Socrates" (470-399 BCE)
