That a god like Jehovah should have created this world of misery and woe, out of pure caprice, and because he enjoyed doing it, and should then have clapped his hands in praise of his own work, and declared everything to be very good-that will not do at all!
Arthur SchopenhauerTo 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 SchopenhauerMaterialism is the philosophy of the subject who forgets to take account of himself.
Arthur Schopenhauer
