Talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius hits a targ... - Arthur Schopenhauer

"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."

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

"One should use common words to say uncommon things"

"Compassion is the basis of all morality"

"Happiness consists in frequent repetition of pleasure"
