"To repeat abstractly, universally, and distinctly in..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“Opinion is like a pendulum and obeys the same law.”

“Reading is merely a surrogate for thinking for yourself; it means letting someone else direct your thoughts.”

“Every woman while she would be ready to die of shame if surprised in the act of generation, nonetheless carries her pregnancy without a trace of shame and indeed with a kind of pride. The reason is that pregnancy is in a certain sense a cancellation of the guilt incurred by coitus; thus coitus bears all the shame and disgrace of the affair, while pregnancy, which is so intimately associated with it, stays pure and innocent and is indeed to some extent sacred.”

“No man can be brave who thinks pain the greatest evil; nor temperate, who considers pleasure the highest good.”

“Lean on principles, one day they'll end up giving way.”

“Marxism is not scientific: at the best, it has scientific prejudices.”

“The giving of love and understanding is an education in itself.”

“I never understood that line. The point was to inhale. That was the point.”

“What most people really want is to be listened to, respected, and understood.”
