Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.

It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Boredom is just the reverse s...

Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

National character is only an...

National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

A man's delight in looking fo...

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 702 quotes

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Honor means that a man is not...

Honor means that a man is not exceptional; fame, that he is. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

To find out your real opinion of someone, judge the impression you have when you first see a letter from them.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

For an author to write as he ...

For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.

Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.

To buy books would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read them.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

A man can be himself only so ...

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

As the biggest library if it ...

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

It is only a man's own fundam...

It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
