Thus also every keen pleasure is an error and an illusion, for no attained wish can give lasting satisfaction.
Arthur SchopenhauerThe best consolation in misfortune or affliction of any kind will be the thought of other people who are in a still worse plight than yourself; and this is a form of consolation open to every one. But what an awful fate this means for mankind as a whole! We are like lambs in a field, disporting themselves under the eye of the butcher, who chooses out first one and then another for his prey.
Arthur SchopenhauerSexual passion is the cause of war and the end of peace, the basis of what is serious... and consequently the concentration of all desire
