Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes

"Life without pain has no meaning""There is no doubt that life is given us not to be enjoyed but to be overcome to be got over""We will gradually become indifferent to what goes on in the minds of other people when we acquire enough knowledge of the crudities of life""It is difficult to find happiness within oneself but it is impossible to find it anywhere else""We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness""Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else's head instead of with one's own""Great men are like eagles and build their nest on some lofty solitude""One should use common words to say uncommon things""Man can do what he wills but he cannot will what he wills""A man can be himself only so long as he is alone.""To live alone is the fate of all great souls.""The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.""We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.""The more unintelligent a man is, the less mysterious existence seems to him.""The world is my idea.""Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.""Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.""Compassion is the basis of morality.""Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see."
