To read a book is to hold an entire world in the palm of your hand. That world is unique to you; no two readers can ever inhabit the same world
Arthur SchopenhauerIt is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.
Arthur SchopenhauerMensch kann tun was er will; er kann aber nicht wollen was er will. (One can choose what to do, but not what to want.)
Arthur Schopenhauer
