Philosopher quotes dataset
3,613 public-domain quotations from 160 philosophers, in five languages. Free to reuse (CC-BY 4.0).
What is in it
One JSONL file per language (English, French, Portuguese, German, Spanish). Each row has a stable id so the languages line up as a parallel corpus, plus author, school, category and the author’s year of death.
License
The original quotation texts are in the public domain (every included author died 70+ years ago). Curation, metadata and translations are CC-BY 4.0 — attribute “Sagius (https://sagius.app)”.
How to load it
Clone https://github.com/gmalmeida/philosopher-quotes or pass the raw JSONL URLs to Hugging Face datasets.load_dataset("json", data_files=…). No account required.
