Arthur Schopenhauer

~ ...man is the only animal which causes pain to others without any further purpose
than just to cause it. ~


  • "Gobineau in his work Les Races Humaines has called man l’animal mйchant par excellence. People take this very ill, because they feel that it hits them; but he is quite right, for man is the only animal which causes pain to others without any further purpose than just to cause it."
  • Life without pain has no meaning.
  • Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.
  • Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.
  • No rose without a thorn but many a thorn without a rose.
