More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Style is what gives value and currency to thoughts.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The inexpressible depth of music, so easy to understand and yet so inexplicable, is due to the fact that it reproduces all the emotions of our innermost being, but entirely without reality and remote from its pain… Music expresses only the quintessence of life and its events, never these themselves.
Arthur Schopenhauer
We deceive and flatter no one by such delicate artificies as we do our own selves.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Vedas are the most rewarding and the most elevating book which can be possible in the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer

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
That I could clamber to the frozen moon. And draw the ladder after me.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Rudeness is better than any argument it totally eclipses intellect.
Arthur Schopenhauer
That which knows all things and is known by none is the subject.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The common man is not concerned about the passage of time, the man of talent is driven by it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
alent is like the marksman who hits a target which others cannot reach genius is like the marksman who hits a target, as far as which others cannot even see.
Arthur Schopenhauer
