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

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

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

"Compassion is the basis of morality."

"We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success."

"Ordinary people merely think how they shall 'spend' their time; a man of talent tries to 'use' it."
