Compassion is the basis of all morality - Arthur Schopenhauer

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

"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 the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person."

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

"A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man"

"How very paltry and limited the normal human intellect is, and how little lucidity there is in the human consciousness, may be judged from the fact that, despite the ephemeral brevity of human life, the uncertainty of our existence and the countless enigmas which press upon us from all sides, everyone does not continually and ceaselessly philosophize, but that only the rarest of exceptions do."
