More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
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
Every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud, adopts as a last resource pride in the nation to which he belongs he is ready and happy to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If you feel irritated by the absurd remarks of two people whose conversation you happen to overhear, you should imagine that you are listening to a dialogue of two fools in a comedy.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If there is anything in the world that can really be called a man's property, it is surely that which is the result of his mental activity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
That I could clamber to the frozen moon. And draw the ladder after me.
Arthur Schopenhauer
One should use common words to say uncommon things
Arthur Schopenhauer
Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Ist es an und fu? r sich absurd, das Nichtsein fu? r einUbel zu ? halten da jedes Ubel wie jedes Gut das Dasein zur Voraussetzung hat, ja sogar das Bewusstsein. It is in and by itself absurd to regard non-existence as an evil for every evil, like every good, presupposes existence, indeed even consciousness.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Man is the only animal who causes pain to others with no other object than wanting to do so.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The heavy armor becomes the light dress of childhood the pain is brief, the joy unending.
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
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
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is most important to allow the brain the full measure of sleep which is required to restore it for sleep is to a man's whole nature what winding up is to a clock.
Arthur Schopenhauer
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
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
Console yourself by remembering that the world doesn't deserve your affection.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Unrest is the mark of existence.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Do not shorten the morning by getting up late look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred.
Arthur Schopenhauer
