All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridicule... - Arthur Schopenhauer

"Ordinary people merely think how they shall 'spend' their time; a man of talent tries to 'use' it."

"Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude"

"Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a target no one else can see."

"We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness."

"Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first."
