From my notes on Aristotle's Ethics (because Sokolowski is such a charming man--he is very tall and big boned and speaks with a kindly smirk, calmly and slowly; he is full of charmingly deprecating and corny remarks that you just don't quite expect):
"If a person is flitting about all the time, you don't think they're a very substantial person."
"He doesn't want to get choppers." (referring to false teeth)
"What we're doing here...[interrupting himself] We have the luxury of being philosophers--we aren't doing anything."
"Something we could call puritanism or depression: this agent has less delight in bodily pleasures than one should have."
"You know, Cyclone--clone of a guy named, 'Cy.'"
"They don't have little angel families; they just get created in their rank and file."
On the problem of televised masses: "These are problems; it is better than having Mongols outside, ready to slaughter us."
"Nietzsche is pietzsche."
On Kant: "That's just part of the sloppy writing here. But it is what it is."
