Happiness consists in frequent repetition of pleasure - Arthur Schopenhauer

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

"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."

"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

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

"Compassion is the basis of all morality"
