About This Quote
The people who are called philosophers often become very intelligent. However, they often become very cynical and bitter as well. Philosophers are not very good at dealing with their own feelings of anger or sadness.

They love to keep people at a distance because they don’t want them to get too close, so they can’t be hurt by them.
