Compassion is the basis of all morality - Arthur Schopenhauer

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

"They tell us that Suicide is the greatest piece of Cowardice... That Suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in this world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person."

"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."

"Faith is like love: it does not let itself be forced."

"Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think."
