More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Our first ideas of life are generally taken from fiction rather than fact.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To become indignant at [people's] conduct is as foolish as to be angry with a stone because it rolls into your path. And with many people the wisest thing you can do, is to resolve to make use of those whom you cannot alter.
Arthur Schopenhauer
For whence did Dante take the materials for his hell but from this our actual world? And yet he made a very proper hell of it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Man is never happy, but spends his whole life in striving after something which he thinks will make him so.
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
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination.
Arthur Schopenhauer
That which knows all things and is known by none is the subject.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Honor has not to be won it must only not be lost.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man becomes a philosopher by reason of a certain perplexity, from which he seeks to free himself.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Human life must be some form of mistake.
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
I love looking at famous people. Because of the way they look. Because of the way photography makes them look famous.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The world is my representation
Arthur Schopenhauer
The weakness of their reasoning faculty also explains why women show more sympathy for the unfortunate than men... and why, on the contrary, they are inferior to men as regards justice, and less honourable and conscientious.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Pride works _from within_ it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Unrest is the mark of existence.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Friends and acquaintances are the surest passport to fortune.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Our moral virtues benefit mainly other people intellectual virtues, on the other hand, benefit primarily ourselves therefore the former make us universally popular, the latter unpopular.
Arthur Schopenhauer
