Faith is like love: it does not let itself be forced. - Arthur Schopenhauer

"Compassion is the basis of all morality"

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

"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"

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