It is only a mans own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone elses meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger. – Arthur Schopenhauer

Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed, in the second it is opposed, in the third it is regarded as self-evident. – Arthur Schopenhauer
