Arthur Schopenhauer

It is with trifles, and when he is off guard, that a man best reveals his character.

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.

Hatred is an affair of the heart contempt that of the head.

Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal.

To live alone is the fate of all great souls.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone.

There is no absurdity so palpable but that it may be firmly planted in the human head if you only begin to inculcate it before the age of five, by constantly repeating it with an air of great solemnity.
