Woman, in short, has an uncon...

Woman, in short, has an unconscious life, man a conscious life, and the genius the most conscious life.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

The deepest, the intelligible...

The deepest, the intelligible, part of the nature of man is that part which does not take refuge in causality, but which chooses in freedom the good or the bad.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

It is not the fear of death which creates the desire for immortality, but the desire for immortality which causes the fear of death.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

Logic and ethics are fundamentally the same, they are no more than duty to oneself

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

No men who really think deeply...

No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

The fixed stars signify the an...

The fixed stars signify the angel in man. That is why man orients himself by them; and that is why women have no appreciation for the starry sky; because they have no sense of the angel in man.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

As the mental endowment of a m...

As the mental endowment of a man varies with the organisation of his accumulated experiences, the better endowed he is, the more readily will he be able to remember his whole past, everything that he has ever thought or heard, seen or done, perceived or felt, the more completely in fact will he be able to reproduce his whole life. Universal remembrance of all its experiences, therefore, is the surest, most general, and most easily proved mark of a genius.

Woman, in short, has an unconscious life, man a conscious life, and the genius the most conscious life.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

Genius declares itself to be a kind of higher masculinity.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

Colour-blindness always extend...

Colour-blindness always extends to the complementary colours. Those who are red blind are also green blind; those who are blind to blue have no consciousness of yellow. This law holds good for all mental phenomena; it is a fundamental condition of consciousness.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

In the case of complex persona...

In the case of complex personalities the matter stands thus: one of these can understand other men better than they can understand themselves, because within himself he has not only the character he is grasping, but also its opposite. Duality is necessary for observation and comprehension.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

The number of different aspect...

The number of different aspects that the face of a man has assumed may be taken almost as a physiognomical measure of his ... genius.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

To understand a man is really ...

To understand a man is really to be that man.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

In order to depict a man one m...

In order to depict a man one must understand him, and to understand him one must be like him; in order to portray his psychological activities one must be able to reproduce them in oneself. To understand a man one must have his nature in oneself.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

An individual's arrogance is a...

An individual's arrogance is always in proportion to his lack of self-assurance.

Everything evil is revenge....

Everything evil is revenge.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

Every true, eternal problem is...

Every true, eternal problem is an equally true, eternal fault; every answer an atonement, every realisation an improvement.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

There is, moreover, very little sense in preventing young people from giving expression to their ideas on the pretext that they have less experience than have older persons. There are many who may live a thousand years without encountering experience of any value. It could only be in a society of persons equally gifted that such an idea could have any meaning.

The Jew is an inborn Communist.

Otto Weininger 48 quotes

Mankind occurs as male or fema...

Mankind occurs as male or female, as something or nothing. Woman has no share in ontological reality, no relation to the thing-in-itself, which, in the deepest interpretation, is the absolute, is God. Man in his highest form, the genius, has such a relation, and for him the absolute is either the conception of the highest worth of existence, in which case he is a philosopher; or it is the wonderful fairyland of dreams, the kingdom of absolute beauty, and then he is an artist.
