"Solidarity is not discovered by reflection, but created. It is created by increasing our senstivity to the particular details of the pain and humiliation of other, unfamiliar sorts of people. Such increased sensitivity makes it more difficult to marginialize people different from ourselves by thinking, 'They do not feel as WE would,' or 'There must always be suffering, so why not let THEM suffer?'"
"Always strive to excel, but only on weekends."
"The usual picture of Socrates is of an ugly little plebeian who inspired a handsome young nobleman to write long dialogues on large topics."
"The world does not speak. Only we do. The world can, once we have programmed ourselves with a language, cause us to hold beliefs. But it cannot propose a language for us to speak. Only other human beings can do that."
"The difference between people and ideas is... only superficial."
"the utopian social hope which sprang up in nineteenth-century Europe is still the noblest imaginative creation of which we have record."
"I think that a good Left is a party that always thinks about the future and doesn't care much about our past sins."
"There is nothing deep down inside us except what we have put there ourselves."
"I think of an intellectual as just being bookish, being interested in history books, utopian ideas, that kind of thing."
"Truth is simply a compliment paid to sentences seen to be paying their way."
"I think you can have a Left that isn't culturally conservative talking about lunch-bucket issues."
"Well, what there ought to be is an international labor organization, a confederation of the trade unions of all the countries speaking for the workers who are competing with one another, and talking about the difference in wage levels between, say, Europe and Indonesia."

Richard Rorty - The World Well Lost
Richard Rorty's The World Well Lost (1972) is an early article which prefigures some of the themes of Rorty's later works, like Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. Criticising the idea of conceptual schemes and its (supposedly) Kantian origin, Rorty argues that Davidson's attack on the scheme/content distinction allows us to drop any realist notion of 'the world'.
Victor Gijsbers teaches philosophy at Leiden University in the Netherlands. This video is part of an ongoing look at various philosophical papers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8Nxd4OXpzqldzrAdT2O5Xv4aJrtEV-b8
