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
Every parting gives a foretaste of death; every coming together again a foretaste of the resurrection. – Arthur Schopenhauer
Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability. – Arthur Schopenhauer
Every possession and every happiness is but lent by chance for an uncertain time, and may therefore be demanded back the next hour. – Arthur Schopenhauer
In depression…faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration, is absent.
