Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

When you look back on your life, it looks as though it were a plot, but when you are into it, it's a mess: just one surprise after another. Then, later, you see it was perfect.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The majority of men... are not capable of thinking, but only of believing, and... are not accessible to reason, but only to authority.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Consider the Koran... this wretched book was sufficient to start a world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical need of countless millions for twelve hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable contempt for death, and also to inspire them to bloody wars and the most extensive conquests. In this book we find the saddest and poorest form of theism. Much may be lost in translation, but I have not been able to discover in it one single idea of value.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.

In the sphere of thought, absurdity and perversity remain the masters of the world, and their dominion is suspended only for brief periods.
