More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only when a man is alone that he is really free.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
Poverty and slavery are thus only two forms ofthe same thing, the essence of which is that a man's energies are expended for the most part not on his own behalf but on that of others.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I have described religion as the metaphysics of the people.
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
Thus also every keen pleasure is an error and an illusion, for no attained wish can give lasting satisfaction.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A word too much always defeats its purpose.
Arthur Schopenhauer
