"The present is the only reality and..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“A hedge between keeps friendship green.”

“Wealth as well as sea water. The more we drink, the more thirsty. The so famous”

“The heavy armor becomes the light dress of childhood; the pain is brief, the joy unending.”

“. . . the mind is desperate to fix the river {of events} in place: Possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, it overlooks the plain truth of the moment.”

“The mind, conditioned as it is by the past, always seeks to re-create what it knows and is familiar with. Even if it is painful, at least it is familiar. The mind always adheres to the known. The unknown is dangerous because it has no control over it. That's why the mind dislikes and ignores the present moment.”

“Remember that neither the future nor the past pains thee, but only the present. But this is reduced to a very little, if thou only circumscribest it, and chidest thy mind, if it is unableto hold out against even this.”

“The truth often sounds paradoxical.”

“The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens. There is no doubt of that, but it proves nothing against the heavens, for heaven simply means: the impossibility of crows.”

“Fantasies are things that can't happen, and science fiction is about things that can happen.”
