"Each day is a little life...." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“There is a wide difference between the original thinker and the merely learned man.”

“This actual world of what is knowable, in which we are and which is in us, remains both the material and the limit of our consideration.”

“No one can transcend their own individuality.”

“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.”

“In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.”

“The world is a playground, and death is the night.”

“Philosophy triumphs easily over past evils and future evils, but present evils triumph over it.”

“Every attempt to solve the laws of causation, time, and space would be futile, because the very attempt would have to be made by taking for granted the existence of these three.”

“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust, and when sometimes I have stolen forth for a walk at the eleventh hour of four o'clock in the afternoon, too late to redeem the day, when the shades of night were already beginning to be mingled with the daylight, have felt as if I had committed some sin to be atoned for.”
