A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner; nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people.

A book can never be anything more than the impress of its author's thoughts; and the value of these will lie either in the matter about which he has thought, or in the form which his thoughts take, in other words, what it is that he has thought about it.

That streetside tree is obscuring the air. Cut it down. Haul it in for questioning. There are secrets within that foliage. You might want to separate the branches in different rooms and apply some elementary game theory.”
“Question a plant?”
“Trees have a will too, just like people. We have to know it’s purpose. Read Schopenhauer.”
“Schopenwho?”
“He was the only authentic German. You might like him. Being a police officer, you’re undoubtedly familiar with the need to put an end to the lives of the perverse when sex crimes go too far. Now just generalize that necessity to every human being.

You say you're a pessimist, but I happen to know that you're in the habit of practicing your flute for two hours every evening.
Friedrich NietzscheTag: schopenhauer
There is not much to be got anywhere in the world. It is filled with misery and pain; if a man escapes these, boredeom lies in wait for him at every corner. Nay more; it is evil which generally has the upper hand, and folly that makes the most noise. Fate is cruel and mankind pitiable.

O homem seduzido pela ilusão da vida individual, escravo do egoísmo, só vê as coisas que o tocam pessoalmente, e encontra aí motivos incessantemente renovados para desejar e querer; pelo contrário, aquele que penetra a essência das coisas, que domina o conjunto, chega ao repouso de todo o desejo e de todo o querer. Daí em diante a sua vontade desvia-se da vida, repele com susto os gozos que a perpetuam. O homem chega então ao estado da renúncia voluntária, da resignação, da tranqüilidade verdadeira, e da ausência absoluta de vontade.

Filozofia lui Schopenhauer remarcă iraționalitatea voinței, ce trebuie anihilată, pentru a ajunge la liniște și satisfacție. La fel ca filozofia de tinerețe a lui Nietzsche sau ca eseistica lui Cioran, ea pote fi interpretată ca o pledoarie pentru moarte: «Viața este o sarcină ce trebuie îndeplinită. Este un lucru bun să zicem defunctus est: înseamnă că omul și-a îndeplinit sarcina. [...] De fapt, convingerea că lumea și omul sunt lucruri care mai bine nu existau, sunt constatări care ne trezesc indulgența față de ceilalți.»
