"There is no doubt that life is..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“Nothing in life gives a man so much courage as the attainment or renewal of the conviction that other people regard him with favor; because it means that everyone joins to give him help and protection, which is an infinitely stronger bulwark against the ills of life than anything he can do himself.”

“People of Wealth and the so called upper class suffer the most from boredom.”

“To be alone is the fate of all great minds—a fate deplored at times, but still always chosen as the less grievous of two evils.”

“The ethic of Reverence for Life is the ethic of Love widened into universality.”

“What we call love is in its essence reverence for life.”

“I treated Art as the supreme reality and life as a mere mode of fiction.”

“War - An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will.”

“How can a man find a sensible way to live? One way and one only- Philosophy. And my philosophy means keeping that vital spark within you free from damage and degradation, using it to transcend pain and pleasure, doing everything with a purpose, avoiding lies and hypocrisy, not relying on another person's actions or failings. To accept everything that comes, and everything that is given, as coming from that same spiritual source.”

“Eventually you get to this point where you understand what you want to do and get across and sound like.”
