If two men who were friends in their youth meet again when they are old, after being separated for a life-time, the chief feeling they will have at the sight of each other will be one of complete disappointment at life as a whole; because their thoughts will be carried back to that earlier time when life seemed so fair as it lay spread out before them in the rosy light of dawn, promised so much โ and then performed so little.
Arthur SchopenhauerThe wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
Arthur SchopenhauerI constantly saw the false and the bad, and finally the absurd and the senseless, standing in universal admiration and honour.
