This book is a collection of 172 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Arthur Schopenhauer: "Life without pain has no meaning." "The world is my idea." "Truth is most beautiful undraped." "Truth is no prostitute that throws herself away upon those who do not desire her; she is rather so coy a beauty that he who sacrifices everything to her cannot even then be sure of her favor." "Each day is a little life." "After your death, you will be what you were before your birth." "Science is not a taxi-cab that we can get in and out of whenever we like." "We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness."

“Life without pain has no meaning.”
“The world is my idea.”
“Truth is most beautiful undraped.”
“Truth is no prostitute that throws herself away upon those who do not desire her; she is rather so coy a beauty that he who sacrifices everything to her cannot even then be sure of her favor.”
“Each day is a little life.”
“After your death, you will be what you were before your birth.”
“Science is not a taxi-cab that we can get in and out of whenever we like.”
“We can regard our life as a uselessly disturbing episode in the blissful repose of nothingness.”
“A book can never be anything more than the impress of its author's thoughts; and the value of these will lie either in the matter about which he has thought, or in the form which his thoughts take, in other words, what it is that he has thought about it.”
“A constant flow of thoughts expressed by other people can stop and deaden your own thought and your own initiative…. That is why constant learning softens your brain…. Stopping the creation of your own thoughts to give room for the thoughts from other books reminds me of Shakespeare’s remark about his contemporaries who sold their land in order to see other countries.”
“A genuine work of art, can never be false, nor can it be discredited through the lapse of time, for it does not present an opinion but the thing itself.”
“A high degree of intellect tends to make a man unsocial.”
“A last trick is to become personal, insulting and rude as soon as you perceive that your opponent has the upper hand. In becoming personal you leave the subject altogether, and turn your attack on the person by remarks of an offensive and spiteful character. This is a very popular trick, because everyone is able to carry it into effect.”
“A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.”
“A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.”
“A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.”
“A man shows his character just in the way in which he deals with trifles - for then he is off his guard.”
“A man who has not enough originality to think out a new title for his book will be much less capable of giving it new contents.”
“A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner; nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people.”
“A sense of humor is the only divine quality of man.”
