More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
The scenes and events of long ago, and the persons who took part in them, wear a charming aspect to the eye of memory, which sees only the outlines and takes no note of disagreeable details. The present enjoys no such advantage, and so it always seems defective.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Every nation criticizes every other one - and they are all correct.
Arthur Schopenhauer
I have described religion as the metaphysics of the people.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Console yourself by remembering that the world doesn't deserve your affection.
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
That which knows all things and is known by none is the subject.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The principle of contradiction establishes merely the agreement of concepts, but does not itself produce concepts.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man's face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man's thoughts and aspirations.
Arthur Schopenhauer
All the cruelty and torment of which the world is full is in fact merely the necessary result of the totality of the forms under which the will to live is objectified.
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
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
There is one respect in which beasts show real wisdom... their quiet, placid enjoyment of the present moment.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only in the microscope that our life looks so big. It is an indivisible point, drawn out and magnified by the powerful lenses of Time and Space.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The common man is not concerned about the passage of time, the man of talent is driven by it.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Were an Asiatic to ask me for a definition of Europe, I should be forced to answer him: It is that part of the world which is haunted by the incredible delusion that man was created out of nothing, and that his present birth is his first entrance into life.
Arthur Schopenhauer
That I could clamber to the frozen moon. And draw the ladder after me.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man of business will often deceive you without the slightest scruple, but he will absolutely refuse to commit a theft.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The tallest oak tree once was an acorn that any pig could have swallowed.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Wir tappen im Labyrinth unsers Lebenswandels und im Dunkel unserer Forschungen umher: helleAugenblicke erleuchten dabei wie Blitze unsernWeg. We grope about in the labyrinth of our life and in the obscurity of our investigations bright moments illuminate our path like flashes of lightning.
Arthur Schopenhauer
