the brut first knows death when it dies, but man draws consciously nearer to it every hour that he lives; and this makes his life at times a questionable good even to him who has not recognised this character of constant anaihilation in the whole of life.
Arthur SchopenhauerFor the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.
Arthur SchopenhauerOne man is more concerned with the impression he makes on the rest of mankind, another with the impression the rest of mankind makes on him.
Arthur Schopenhauer
