"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.
