"Reason is feminine in nature; it can..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”

“The truth can wait, for it lives a long life.”

“The man who goes up in a balloon does not feel as if he were ascending; he only sees the earth sinking deeper below him.”

“A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.”

“Force shites upon Reason's Back.”

“Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered.”

“The only way to study the mind is to get at facts, and then intellect will arrange them and deduce the principles.”

“Mental fight means thinking against the current, not with it. It is our business to puncture gas bags and discover the seeds of truth.”

“The intellectual is always showing off,the lover is always getting lost.The intellectual runs away.afraid of drowning;the whole business of loveis to drown in the sea.Intellectuals plan their repose;lovers are ashamed to rest.The lover is always alone.even surrounded by people;like water and oil, he remains apart.The man who goes to the troubleof giving advice to a loverget nothing. He's mocked by passion.Love is like musk. It attracts attention.Love is a tree, and the lovers are its shade.”
