Arthur Schopenhauer quotes from his best works. Philosopher. Supporting @rifweb — relief where it matters.
"Happiness is a by-product of an effort to make someone else happy."
"Man is basically a wild, horrible animal. We just know it in the state of harnessing and taming."
Does desire give life meaning, or does it trap us in endless dissatisfaction?
"Faith and knowledge are related as the two scales of a balance; when the one goes up, the other goes down."
"The first forty years of life give us the text; the next thirty supply the commentary on it."
“To free a man from error is to give, not to take away. Knowledge that a thing is false is a truth. Error always does harm; sooner or later it will bring mischief to the man who harbors it.”
