With people of limited ability modesty is merely honesty. But with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy.
Arthur SchopenhauerIn their hearts women think that it is men's business to earn money and theirs to spend it.
Arthur SchopenhauerPoetry is related to philosophy as experience is related to empirical science. Experience makes us acquainted with the phenomenon in the particular and by means of examples, science embraces the whole of phenomena by means of general conceptions. So poetry seeks to make us acquainted with the Platonic Ideas through the particular and by means of examples. Philosophy aims at teaching, as a whole and in general, the inner nature of things which expresses itself in these. One sees even here that poetry bears more the character of youth, philosophy that of old age.
