3 quotes from Sophie's World

  • "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances. What about the audience?"
  • "Knowledge is not a luxury; it is a fundamental condition for living. To be a human being means to ask questions and seek answers."
  • "Philosophy begins in wonder. It is an active pursuit of knowledge, but it also requires humility and openness to new perspectives."

Author : Jostein Gaarder

Jostein Gaarder, the author of this book, was born in Norway in 1952. He was initially a philosophy teacher in a senior high school, and he was obsessed with thinking and exploring the nature of humanity, as well as searching for the ultimate meaning of life. Since publishing his first book in 1986, he has gradually become a world-class writer in Norway. After Sophie’s World was published in 1991, it aroused a huge public response. In 1997, Gaarder established the Sophie Foundation. The Foundation’s Sophie Prize is an annual award of $100,000 which goes towards hardworking environmentalists.
