More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
History is the long, difficult and confused dream of Mankind.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The reason domestic pets are so lovable and so helpful to us is because they enjoy, quietly and placidly, the present moment.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Anyone can squash a bug but all professors of this world couldn't build one.
Arthur Schopenhauer
We can do what we wish, but we can only wish what we must.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people.
Arthur Schopenhauer
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
Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law. If it goes past the centre of gravity on one side, it must go a like distance on the other and it is only after a certain time that it finds the true point at which it can remain at rest.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To be shocked at how deeply rejection hurts is to ignore what acceptance involves. We must never allow our suffering to be compounded by suggestions that there is something odd in suffering so deeply. There would be something amiss if we didn't.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Mensch kann tun was er will er kann aber nicht wollen was er will. (One can choose what to do, but not what to want.)
Arthur Schopenhauer
Life without pain has no meaning.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only when a man is alone that he is really free.
Arthur Schopenhauer
How entirely does the Upanishad breathe throughout the holy spirit of the Vedas! How is every one who by a diligent study of its Persian Latin has become familiar with that incomparable book stirred by that spirit to the very depth of his Soul !
Arthur Schopenhauer
One can forget everything, everything, only not oneself, one's own being.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another but women are by nature enemies.
Arthur Schopenhauer
the brut first knows death when it dies, but man draws consciously nearer to it every hour that he lives and this makes his life at times a questionable good even to him who has not recognised this character of constant anaihilation in the whole of life.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Life is neither to be wept over nor to be laughed at but to be understood.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A high degree of intellect tends to make a man unsocial.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and slower it is in arriving at maturity. A man reaches the maturity of his reasoning powers and mental faculties hardly before the age of twenty-eight a woman at eighteen.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man of business will often deceive you without the slightest scruple, but he will absolutely refuse to commit a theft.
Arthur Schopenhauer
