Arthur Schopenhauer

Was a German philosopher. He is known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, which characterizes the phenomenal world as the manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
Music is the melody whose text is the world.
Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think.
Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.
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.
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head.
Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.
Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.
Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
