Authority and example lead the world.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Gaiety alone, as it were, is ...

Gaiety alone, as it were, is the hard cash of happiness; everything else is just a promissory note.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The auspices for philosophy a...

The auspices for philosophy are bad if, when proceeding ostensibly on the investigation of truth, we start saying farewell to all uprightness, honesty and sincerity, and are intent only on passing ourselves off for what we are not. We then assume, like those three sophists [Fichte, Schelling and Hegel], first a false pathos, then an affected and lofty earnestness, then an air of infinite superiority, in order to impose where we despair of ever being able to convince.

... that when you're buying books, you're optimistically thinking you're buying the time to read them. (Paraphrase of Schopenhauer)

We should comfort ourselves with the masterpieces of art as with exalted personages-stand quietly before them and wait till they speak to us.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Although as a rule the absurd...

Although as a rule the absurd culminates, and it seems impossible for the voice of the individual ever to penetrate through the chorus of foolers and fooled, still there is left to the genuine works of all times a quite peculiar, silent, slow, and powerful influence; and as if by a miracle, we see them rise at last out of the turmoil like a balloon that floats up out of the thick atmosphere of this globe into purer regions. Having once arrived there, it remains at rest, and no one can any longer draw it down again.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Boredom is an evil that is no...

Boredom is an evil that is not to be estimated lightly. It can come in the end to real despair. The public authority takes precautions against it everywhere, as against other universal calamities.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

To repeat abstractly, univers...

To repeat abstractly, universally, and distinctly in concepts the whole inner nature of the world , and thus to deposit it as a reflected image in permanent concepts always ready for the faculty of reason , this and nothing else is philosophy.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The general history of art and literature shows that the highest achievements of the human mind are, as a rule, not favourably received at first.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

If at any moment Time stays his hand, it is only when we are delivered over to the miseries of boredom.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

A great affliction of all Philistines is that idealities afford them no entertainment, but to escape from boredom they are always in need of realities.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Every human perfection is allied to a defect into which it threatens to pass, but it is also true that every defect is allied to a perfection.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

If God made this world, then ...

If God made this world, then i would not want to be the God. It is full of misery and distress that it breaks my heart.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost are and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.

There are, first of all, two kinds of authors: those who write for the subject's sake, and those who write for writing's sake.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Every human perfection is linked to an error which it threatens to turn into

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

It often happens that we blurt out things that may in some kind of way be harmful to us, but we are silent about things that may make us look ridiculous; because in this case effect follows very quickly on cause.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Just as the witticism brings two very different real objects under one concept, the pun brings two different concepts, by the assistance of accident, under one word.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Reasonable and vicious are quite consistent with each other, in fact, only through their union are great and far-reaching crimes possible
