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

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

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

"Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first."

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

"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."
