Arthur Schopenhauer
That I could clamber to the frozen moon. And draw the ladder after me.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer

A man of correct insight among those who are duped and deluded resembles one whose watch is right while all the clocks in the town give the wrong time.
Arthur Schopenhauer
All religions promise a reward beyond life, in eternity, for excellences of the will or heart, but none for excellences of the head or understanding.
