Consciousness is the mere surface of our minds, of which, as of the earth, we do not know the inside, but only the crust.
Arthur SchopenhauerIf 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 — and then performed so little.
Arthur SchopenhauerReligion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think.
