More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer

Image
Happiness of any given life is to be measured, not by its joys and pleasures, but by the extent to which it has been free from suffering-from positive evil.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
To call the world God is not to explain it it is only to enrich our language with a superfluous synonym.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
The business of the novelist is not to relate great events, but to make small ones interesting.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Exaggeration of every kind is as essential to journalism as it is to dramatic art, for the object of journalism is to make events go as far as possible.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Happiness belongs to those who are sufficient unto themselves. For all external sources of happiness and pleasure are, by their very nature, highly uncertain, precarious, ephemeral and subject to chance.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Whoever heard me assert that the grey cat playing just now in the yard is the same one that did jumps and tricks there five hundred years ago will think whatever he likes of me, but it is a stranger form of madness to imagine that the present-day cat is fundamentally an entirely different one.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
One man is more concerned with the impression he makes on the rest of mankind, another with the impression the rest of mankind makes on him.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
We deceive and flatter no one by such delicate artificies as we do our own selves.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
There is no vice of which a man can be guilty, no meanness, no shabbiness, no unkindness, which excites so much indignation among his contemporaries, friends and neighbours, as his success. This is the one unpardonable crime, which reason cannot defend, nor humility mitigate.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Memory works like the collection glass in the Camera obscura: it gathers everything together and therewith produces a far more beautiful picture than was present originally.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
On the path of actions, great heart is the chief recommendation on that works, a great head.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself it means letting someone else direct your thoughts.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Ignorance is degrading only when found in company with great riches.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
At the age of five years to enter a spinning-cotton or other factory, and from that time forth to sit there daily, first ten, then twelve, and ultimately fourteen hours, performing the same mechanical labour, is to purchase dearly the satisfaction of drawing breath. But this is the fate of millions, and that of millions more is analogous to it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Life is a constant process of dying.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
The greatest intellectual capacities are only found in connection with a vehement and passionate will.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Religion is the metaphysics of the masses.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important.
Arthur Schopenhauer
