More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
There are, first of all, two kinds of authors: those who write for the subject's sake, and those who write for writing's sake.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big. It is an indivisible point, drawn out and magnified by the powerful lenses of Time and Space.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The man who goes up in a balloon does not feel as if he were ascending he only sees the earth sinking deeper below him.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The little honesty that exists among authors is discernible in the unconscionable way they misquote from the writings of others.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The truth can wait, for it lives a long life.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If at any moment Time stays his hand, it is only when we are delivered over to the miseries of boredom.
Arthur Schopenhauer
All pantheism must ultimately be shipwrecked on the inescapable demands of ethics, and then on the evil and suffering of the world. If the world is a theophany , then everything done by man, and even by animal, is equally divine and excellent nothing can be more censurable and nothing more praiseworthy than anything else hence there is no ethics.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The old woman dies, the burden is lifted.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The young should early be trained to bear being left alone for it is a source of happiness and peace of mind.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I owe what is best in my own development to the impression made by Kant's works, the sacred writings of the Hindus, and Plato.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To use many words to communicate few thoughts is everywhere the unmistakable sign of mediocrity. To gather much thought into few words stamps the man of genius.
Arthur Schopenhauer
History is the long, difficult and confused dream of Mankind.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Life without pain has no meaning.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Will without intellect is the most vulgar and common thing in the world, possessed by every blockhead, who, in the gratification of his passions, shows the stuff of which he is made.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Just as a stream flows smoothly on as long as it encounters no obstruction, so the nature of man and animal is such that we never really notice or become conscious of what is agreeable to our will if we are to notice something, our will has to have been thwarted, has to have experienced a shock of some kind.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Hope is the confusion of the desire for a thing with its probability.
Arthur Schopenhauer
