"The common man is not concerned about..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“Man shows his character best in trifles.”

“The fundament upon which all our knowledge and learning rests is the inexplicable.”

“He who does not enjoy solitude will not love freedom.”

“No interviews without appointments except between nine and ten p.m. on second Saturdays.”

“Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.”

“Life is short. That's all there is to say. Get what you can from the present - thoughtfully, justly.”

“Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.”

“The Enemy wants to bring the man to a state of mind in which he could design the best cathedral in the world, and know it to be the best, and rejoice in the fact, without being any more (or less) or otherwise glad at having done it than he would be if it had been done by another. The Enemy wants him, in the end, to be so free from any bias in his own favour that he can rejoice in his own talents as frankly and gratefully as in his neighbour's talents--or in a sunrise, an elephant, or a waterfall.”

“When I had to fill in my immigration papers, I gave my age as 19, and my profession as genius; I added that I had nothing to declare except my talent.”
