Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
As my own father was sick, and miserably tied to his invalid's chair, he would have been abandoned had not an old servant performed for him a so-called service of love. My mother gave parties while he was perishing in solitude, and amused herself while he was suffering bitter agonies
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
There are, first of all, two kinds of authors: those who write for the subject's sake, and those who write for writing's sake. The first kind have had thoughts or experiences which seem to them worth communicating, while the second kind need money and consequently write for money.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
We forfeit three-quarters of ourselves in order to be like other people.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Life is a constant process of dying.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
We seldom speak of what we have but often of what we lack.
Arthur Schopenhauer
