After your death, you will be what you were before your birt... - Arthur Schopenhauer

"Happiness consists in frequent repetition of pleasure"

"Qualsiasi uomo notevole, chiunque cioè non appartenga a quei 5/6 dell'umanità dotati tanto miseramente dalla natura, rimarrà dopo i quarant'anni difficilmente esente da una certa traccia di misantropia."

"One should use common words to say uncommon things"

"Compassion is the basis of morality."

"We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success."
