| Al Capp |  There are certain books in the world which every searcher for truth must know: the Bible, the Critique of Pure Reason, the Origin of Species, and Karl Marx's Capital.

| Alain de Botton | It's clear to me that there is no good reason for many philosophy books to sound as complicated as they do.

| Alain de Botton | We may seek a fortune for no greater reason than to secure the respect and attention of people who would otherwise look straight through us.

| Alan Jackson | For some reason I've been labeled that and it's fine, but there are a lot of other artists that sing real traditional stuff, so I don't know why they picked me. That's what I've always done.
Alan Jackson |
| Alan Vega | People said that way back in the early days I was probably one of the first rappers; the reason is that I couldn't sing, so I had to talk! Lou Reed was probably the one who started it all.
Alan Vega |
| Alan Vega | We're just getting better at our trade, man. We know what we're doing, and the reason why is that we've spent 30 years doing it. There's nothing that can replace that.
Alan Vega |
| Alan Watts | The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.
Alan Watts |
| Alan Watts | The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.

| Albert Camus | The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Albert Camus |
| Albert Camus | Truly fertile Music, the only kind that will move us, that we shall truly appreciate, will be a Music conducive to Dream, which banishes all reason and analysis. One must not wish first to understand and then to feel. Art does not tolerate Reason.
Albert Camus |
| Albert Claude | As far as I remember, even younger than eight, I have always been guided by reason. Not cold reason, but that which leads to the truth, to the real, and to sane Justice.
Albert Claude |
| Albert Einstein | Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.
Albert Einstein |
| Albert Einstein | The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
Albert Einstein |
| Albert Einstein | The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
Albert Einstein |
| Albert J. Nock | Perhaps one reason for the falling-off of belief in a continuance of conscious existence is to be found in the quality of life that most of us lead. There is not much in it with which, in any kind of reason, one can associate the idea of immortality.
Albert J. Nock |
| Albert Pike | Doubt, the essential preliminary of all improvement and discovery, must accompany the stages of man's onward progress. The faculty of doubting and questioning, without which those of comparison and judgment would be useless, is itself a divine prerogative of the reason.
Albert Pike |
| Albert Pike | Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
Albert Pike |
| Albert Pike | The universal medicine for the Soul is the Supreme Reason and Absolute Justice; for the mind, mathematical and practical Truth; for the body, the Quintessence, a combination of light and gold.
Albert Pike |
| Albert Shanker | There is no more reason to pay for private education than there is to pay for a private swimming pool for those who do not use public facilities.
Albert Shanker |
| Alberto Giacometti | In the past I have never thought about loneliness when working, and I don't think about it now. Yet there must be a reason for the fact that so many people talk about it.
Alberto Giacometti |
