FREUD
"Man is not really such a rational creature as the 18th century rationalist like to think" (Gaarder 426)
This is so true and i believe that its so cool how freu was one of the few persons to contradict many beliefs andeven come up with new ones. He was such an intelligent person that i would also believe everything that he said. And seeing that the human is not logical is such a great achievement.
"infants have some sort of sexuality"(Gaarder 426).
I cant believe that he found out that babies have some kind of sexuality its just so weird and hard to believe i wont ever accept this, because its impossible babies dont even know whatt they are doing let alone experiencing their sexuality.
OUR OWN TIME
"Sophie was not the least surprised when the goose began to speak"(Gaarder 444)
Its so incredible that even after leaving the whole mystery of what was happening with Hilde and Sophie its weird to see that the magical part of the book never ends and i think this is what makes this book always so entertaining.
"According to Nietzche's both Christianity and philosophy had turned away from reality and towards heaven"(Gaarder 449)
As a catholic person i have to agree with the whole heaven perspective but when it comes to me being logical i have to agree taht we are always looking at something un real and basing it on things that are so hard to believe. And it makes them just even more impossible to believe in.
THE GARDEN PARTY
"Sophies World"(Gaarder 466)
its so incredible to believe how this book has changed so much throughout the entire book. I have to agree that its trully a world apart from real life. There is no other book like this book i just finally came to the conclusion that i love it.
"Sophie was sure that he had bought a Barbi doll in a toy store and had made a tailor make it up in her size"(Gaarder 469)
This is one of the funniest comparisons that ive read in the book. The actual way that sophie believes she is dressed is really funny and just makes this book so much more interesting. I just love it when Gaarder places these comparisons in the book.
COUNTERPOINT
"Chateau Neuf which mean something "The new palace"(Gaarder 481)
I love it when in the books there is something new that they put and they explain it. The use of different languages in the book just is something that i really love and makes this book so much more worldly and beautiful.
"She's so lucky to be real person. Now she'll grow up and be a real woman." (Gaarder 496)
Its so sad to see thaat she finally comes to the conclusion that shes not a real person but its at the same time something so sad to think about becuase well i dont know, she's not a real person and its just sad.
THE BIG BANG
"History repeats itself eternally. In india, for example, there is and ancient theory that the world continually unfolds and folds again"(Gaarder 502)
I think that this super true what they say in India becuase there is no other explanation as to why the world functions in a certain way and why we do soo. But the explanation that history repeats itself is the most intelliggent as there have already been examples of this happening and re occuring and i just think that its super true.

The Enlightment
"Hilde was just beggining to understand the system of the dates"(Gaarder 300)
I think that the entire present that Hildes father gave her is so special i wish i would get such a detailed present it really shows how important she is to him. I still find it hard to believe that this is a book inside a book but its so interesting now that i finally understand it.
"Are we really human beings of flesh and blood"(Gaarder 301)
This whole chapter has made me realize that what if we were all living ina huge dream no one would ever really know; what if we were all a part of a story that we had no idea. I just think its really interesting the way in which the book involves two books inside of one.

Berkeeley
"The only things that exsist are the ones that we perceive"(Gaarder 279)
this is so right, i really believe that we make our own worlds and that everything that we think exsist are what we perceive not what really exists/this also makes me believe that there are so many different perceptions of different things that each and everyone of us has a different world of our own.
Bjerkely:
"Friday June 15, 1990"(Gaarder 281)
Although this may not be the most important quote of the entire book, i feel it has a great significance to the entire novel there is so much that can come out of this day. Since they are always talking about this birthday and how sophie and Hilde share it, i believe this is trully significant.
"The Garden of Eden"(Gaarder 287)
This is so confusing once again i cant understand it but what i do get is that this is just like a book inside a book after all the confusion about the double personality that i thought was going on i finally understood everything andd why everything was so magical because it is all made up, it doesnt actually exsist. so weirdddddd!!!!

Hume
"More than any philosopher, he took the everyday world as his starting point."(Gaarder 264)
Hume is one of the few philosophers i can actually relate too, its so interesting how he just like me believe in the importance of the experience of the newborns. its so interesting to me because ive had through my entire life those same experiences.
"In other words it is a false idea which must be rejected"(Gaarder 265)
Its so interesting to see this idea that Hume had since he makes everything very close mindedly, there is no space for creativity and imagination in his philosophy of life and i just think that through the example they give about the angels i disagree with the fact that the idea must be rejected because they are "non exsisting"

Locke
"Well now i insist on meeting him. Tomorrow at the latest. Its not natural for a young girl to be meeting an older man like this" (Gaarder 253)
Its so true and this has been my question throughout the entire book because i cant ever seem to reach to a conclusion as to why this is always so normal to Sophie. To be meeting a guy who at first she had no idea, and then someone so old. Its so weird for me because she never seems to be even the slightest bit of c=scared.
"When I saw him sometime in the seventies he wasnt a day younger than this Alberto I just saw"(Gaarder 255)
I never understand anything of this mysterious book. Its all so confusing to me since i cant ever understand the actual situation that Sophie is in. And what her mother just said about Alberto just makes me second guess everything and get even more confused about everything that is happening. Since he hasnt changed over 15 years and he is just the same. then something weird must be happening.

Spinoza
"Few philosophers in more recent times have been so blasphemed and so persecuteed for their ideas as this man."(Gaarder 244)
Well its really interesting to see how the world has evolved just as spinoza many other people throughout history have been persecuted and its really sad to think that people could not say what was on their mind because of fear, I just think that maybe since persecution towards "different" people would have been smaller than who knows what kind of things people would say and teach.

descartes
"he was convinved that certain knowledge is only attainable through reason"(Gaarder 230)
i think that Descartes point here in the quote that knowledge is attained through reason is really logical and i think that it is really true also, since the only way we can trully understand something is through the application of reason in everything we do so i think descartes has an incredible point here.
"Are you angry Sophie? So may exclamation marks are a sign of violent feelings"(Gaarder 241)
this is really interesting to see. I think that this question that Alberto does to Sophie is so ridiculous since the entire story and there entire relationship is built on cards and misteriousness and finding the true identities of Hilde and her father. So Alberto asking this just seems really dumb.
