About This Quote
If you want to be free, you must be a slave to philosophy. Philosophy is more than just the study of the nature of the universe and of human existence. A slave to philosophy means that you must believe in your core that philosophy is fundamental and it is about the way we live our lives. It’s not something we do on a whim or while we are bored. We must believe in it and strive to live by it even when we might not get everything right every day or when we might not be able to do everything that we want to do.
