| ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER |
| (1788-1860) |
| Apart from man, no being wonders at its own existence. Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right. Ignorance is degrading when found in company with riches. Style is the physiognomy of the mind, and a safer index to character than the face. Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first. We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people. |
