More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Animals hear about death for the first time when they die.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man IS contributes more to his happiness than what he HAS.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Animals learn death first at the moment of death...man approaches death with the knowledge it is closer every hour, and this creates a feeling of uncertainty over his life, even for him who forgets in the business of life that annihilation is awaiting him. It is for this reason chiefly that we have philosophy and religion.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Rudeness is better than any argument it totally eclipses intellect.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
Anyone can squash a bug but all professors of this world couldn't build one.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man's delight in looking forward to and hoping for some particular satisfaction is a part of the pleasure flowing out of it, enjoyed in advance. But this is afterward deducted, for the more we look forward to anything the less we enjoy it when it comes.
Arthur Schopenhauer
No one can transcend their own individuality.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Will without intellect is the most vulgar and common thing in the world, possessed by every blockhead, who, in the gratification of his passions, shows the stuff of which he is made.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If a person is stupid, we excuse him by saying that he cannot help it but if we attempted to excuse in precisely the same way the person who is bad, we should be laughed at.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Life is a constant process of dying.
Arthur Schopenhauer
