Arthur Schopenhauer
It is in the treatment of trifles that a person shows what they are.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.
Arthur Schopenhauer
How is it possible that suffering that is neither my own nor of my concern should immediately affect me as though it were my own, and with such force that is moves me to action?
Arthur Schopenhauer
In the sphere of thought, absurdity and perversity remain the masters of the world, and their dominion is suspended only for brief periods.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is, indeed, only in old age that intellectual men attain their sublime expression, whilst portraits of them in their youth show only the first traces of it.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
