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.

The Baroque:
"The dog's name is Hermes"(Gaarder 215)
its so interesting to see how in the entire book they make a philosophical connection to everything and everyone no matter what. Since the name Hermes is actually someone important and relevant. This is one of the main reasons why i think this book is so not interesting, it just seems as if we were reading a textbook.
"She was doing better in some subjects since she started on the philosophy course"(Gaarder 217)
well i dont know what this quote is trying to explain to me but it seems as though it were telling me that i should learn or take a course in philosophy to become a better person even in my grades. I hate this book and i hate philosophy so this just made me think that this may be the reason why i have such bad grades in every single class.

"Precisely, for example it was thought that fossils were imprints of animals that had failed to get into the ark"(Gaarder 405)
Its incredible to think how our world has developed so much and too see how much we have advanced in every subject of our lives especially knowledge its incredible to see how this quote says that at first they thought that and now we know completely the truth, i find this incredibly entertaining.
"You cannot distinguish a human embryo from a rabbit embryo until a very late stage"(Gaarder 407)
this is something that i have always felt is so strnange and it makes me really question where we come from and i really thinks its the same as what they say after if we are distinct relatives. Its really surprising to actually know how we are just like other mammals in the world

Marx
"It was asthough she was getting inspiration from some guiding spirit" (Gaarder 383)
Its so weird to see how there is always such a touch of magic thrown in everything from the book and its also very weird becuase i know that there is like a spirit or Hildes father that is hhelping her through all of this. I still wont ever understand how this could trully ever happen but it really makes thebook interesting.
"You know a way out of the mental captivity that we have lived in for too much."(Gaarder 384)
Once again it freaks me out this mental captivity or extra weird force that their is over Sophie. It really scares me the way that their is so much power over this girl and i really dont like it at all. But i still never understand who is the person behind all this power on sophie. Its all really confusing to me

Kierkegaard
"My name is Alice"(Gaarder 370)
So i have a strange idea or concept or i dont really know if i trully understand the hidden message behind this little girl with a blue dress. I dont understand whether she has to look like ALice in Wonderland or if shes the legit Alice in Wonderland. I had no idea of the connection but yet is so interesting to see her part in the story.
"This juice tasted fresher and sharper than the other. Again everything around her changed suddenly"(Gaarder 371)
This book just keeps getting weirder by the second I hvae no idea what this juice is but its probably some alchoholic beverage or some drug . But its so weird to see her reaction towards this juice obviously there a purpose for the drink but im really scared for Sophie, i feel as though someone was going to rape her after drinking that.

Hegel
"She had asked her to rebel against her father"(Gaarder 356)
This is really something to think about it really makes me scared about everything that could happen since her father is so powerfull. I must say that i was expecting sophie to say somehting to her like that since ive noticed that Sophie is really careless and she has absolutely no fears whatsoever.
"The attempt to set up eternal criteria for what man can know about the world"(Gaarder 358)
Ive actually noticed that this is true whatever this quote says is really true becuase ive noticed that overall throughout the entire philosophical class that we have been given in this book. The main idea and purpose was to see what people can know about the world and they just question everything their is to it. I find it quite interesting.

romanticism
"That makes us only shadows of shadows"(Gaarder 354)
this quote really caught my mind because i find it so hard to believe that they could actually be only shadows of shadows. Its really weird i dont really even understand what this means and i have no idea why they even say it but it really caught my eye.
"Were you dreaming"(Gaarder 352)
This book is so weird and hard to grasp that this quote really defines the confusion that they try to make. By saying were you dreaming it just makes me second guess everything and i cant take it seriously everything, this book is to confusing.

KANT
"Kant was the first of the philosophers we have heard about so far to have taught philosophy at an university" (Gaarder 320)
Its so weird to think that none of the previous philosophers have been actual teaches although they have strong ideas and virtues and maybe some have some classses somewhere. It seemed weird and this caught my attention that only kant has been giving college classes.
"There are two kinds of philosophers"(Gaarder 320)
It had always been in my mind that there was only one kind of philosopher, although i had a difficult time deffining what a philosopher was. I really like that in this part they help us differentiate them and its just great how the idea of this book really works since their is a story that feel like a philosophy textbook.

The enlightment
"she jumped at every new card and birthday greeting"(Gaarder 300)
its so weird to finally see the reaction that we have been waiting for since the beggining of the book and it kinda makes me really happy to see that hilde is so excited because of the cards that her father sent her, i still dont understand why the cards were directed to sophie.
"Does our world consist of real things, or are we encircled by the mind"(Gaarder 301)
Ive always had this question in my mind whethere we are really trully human being or what are we really. Ive always thought that we are of pure imagination and that we are just living in a dream. This is so freaky because its just what i have alwys thought of.
