Human existence must be a kind of error…it may be said of it, it is bad today and every day it will get worse, until the worst of all happens. – Arthur Schopenhauer
Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first. – Arthur Schopenhauer
In action a great heart is the chief qualification. In work, a great head. – Arthur Schopenhauer
In depression…faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent. The pain is unrelenting, and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no rememdy will come, not in a day, an hour, a month, or a minute. It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul. – William Styron
