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.”
