قال شوبنهور في وصف كتاب "العالم كارادة وفكرة"

“The past is not dead. Indeed, it is often not even past.”

“but now and then liberty, in the slogans of the strong, means freedom from rest…”

“In the last 3,421 years of recorded history, only 268 have seen no war”

“When liberty exceeds intelligence, it begets chaos, which begets dictatorship.”
