"Although as a rule the absurd culminates,..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer
Although as a rule the absurd culminates, and it seems impossible for the voice of the individual ever to penetrate through the chorus of foolers and fooled, still there is left to the genuine works of all times a quite peculiar, silent, slow, and powerful influence; and as if by a miracle, we see them rise at last out of the turmoil like a balloon that floats up out of the thick atmosphere of this globe into purer regions. Having once arrived there, it remains at rest, and no one can any longer draw it down again.

More on Truth
“Love is the expression of the one who loves, not of the one who is loved. Those who think they can love only the people they prefer do not love at all. Love discovers truths about individuals that others cannot see”
“I've now realised for the first time in my life the vital Importance of Being Earnest.”
“There is only one duty, only one safe course, and that is to try to be right.”
More on Individuality
“Seek freedom from the conformity of styles”
“The craft with which the world is made runs also into the mind and character of men. No man is quite sane; each has a vein of folly in his composition, a slight determination of blood to the head, to make sure of holding him hard to some one point which Nature has taken to heart.”
“I'm intrigued and drawn to people who know exactly who they are, who know what they want, who live life on their own terms.”
