"Apart from man, no being wonders at..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“The happiness which we receive from ourselves is greater than that which we obtain from our surroundings. . . . The world in which a person lives shapes itself chiefly by the way in which he or she looks at it.”

“Console yourself by remembering that the world doesn't deserve your affection.”

“Freedom of the press is to the machinery of the state what the safety valve is to the steam engine.”

“You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light.”

“Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.”

“Vigilance in oneself is very important. Vigilance means to be alert to what happens inside, so you can catch an old, collective habit pattern.”

“Nothing makes a man so selfish as work.”

“The Moral Sense teaches us what is right, and how to avoid it-when unpopular.”

“Philosophers.-We are full of things which take us out of ourselves.”
