Dante Alighieri
“Inferno' canto 26, l. 118 : 'Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.”
Dante Alighieri

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“The object of philosophy is the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a theory but an activity. The result of philosophy is not a number of 'philosophical propositions', but to make propositions clear.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico Philosophicus

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“De souvereiniteit kan niet gerepresenteerd worden; om dezelfde reden waarom die zich niet laat vervreemden; zij bestaat in essentie uit de algemene wil en de wil laat zich niet representeren; ofwel die
blijft wat die al was, of dat is niet het geval, daar zit niets tussen. De afgevaardigden van het volk kunnen
daarom niet zijn representanten zijn, zij zijn slechts zijn zaakwaarnemers; er is niets waarover zij vrijelijk kunnen beslissen’. (.....) ‘het Engelse volk denkt vrij te zijn. Maar het vergist zich daar lelijk in. Vrij is het slechts op verkiezingsdag, daarna is het slaaf, niets. En in de zeldzame momenten dat het de vrijheid heeft, maakt het er een zodanig gebruik van dat het verdient die vrijheid te verliezen’. (Quoted by Frank Ankersmit in his Farewell Oration given on April 12th, 2010)”
Jean Jacques Rousseau, The Social Contract & Discourses Jean Jacques Rousseau Jean Jacques Rousseau

Hayden White
“If one if is going to “go to history,” one had better have an address in mind rather than go wandering around the streets of the past like a flaneur. Historical flaneurisme is undeniably enjoyable, but the history we are living today is no place for tourists. If you are going to “go to history,” you better have a clear idea of which history, and you had better have a pretty good notion as to whether it is hospitable to the values you carry into it.”
Hayden White, The Content of the Form: Narrative Discourse and Historical Representation

“Anksersmit about his way of working : ‘I am always dealing with questions that have been occasioned by previous phases in my development and I use the work of others only insofar as it may be of help to me in this process. But I never have much interest for their work as such; when reading my colleagues, I always ask myself: what can I do with it. So I’m a kind of intellectual plunderer, so to say. That’s also why I am much of a solitary. Not coincidentally did I make Descartes’s motto into my own: ‘bene vixit bene qui latuit’. That’s also why I have never felt compelled to advertise my ideas; I live in my own world and that suits me well enough.”
Marcin Moskalewicz - Sublime Experience and Politics: Interview with Professor Frank Ankersmit
