More quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Pleasure is never as pleasant as we expected it to be and pain is always more painful. The pain in the world always outweighs the pleasure. If you don't believe it, compare the respective feelings of two animals, one of which is eating the other.
Arthur Schopenhauer
That I could clamber to the frozen moon. And draw the ladder after me.
Arthur Schopenhauer
At bottom, every state regards another as a gang of robbers who will fall upon it as soon as there is an opportunity.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Nothing in life gives a man so much courage as the attainment or renewal of the conviction that other people regard him with favor because it means that everyone joins to give him help and protection, which is an infinitely stronger bulwark against the ills of life than anything he can do himself.
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
Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Music is the melody whose text is the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
That human life must be some kind of mistake is sufficiently proved by the simple observation that man is a compound of needs which are hard to satisfy that their satisfaction achieves nothing but a painless condition in which he is only given over to boredom . . .
Arthur Schopenhauer
Honor has not to be won it must only not be lost.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Life to the great majority is only a constant struggle for mere existence, with the certainty of losing it at last.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The little honesty that exists among authors is discernible in the unconscionable way they misquote from the writings of others.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To call the world God is not to explain it it is only to enrich our language with a superfluous synonym.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Patriotism is the passion of fools and the most foolish of passions.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Pride is generally censured and decried, but mainly by those who have nothing to be proud of.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Every time a man is begotten and born, the clock of human life is wound up anew to repeat once more its same old tune that has already been played innumerable times, movement by movement and measure by measure, with insignificant variations.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The eternal being..., as it lives in us, also lives in every animal.
Arthur Schopenhauer
