Classic quotations from German philosopher arthur schopenhauer

Arthur? Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-186), a German philosopher, is usually regarded as a pessimist. He is famous for his book The World of Will and Appearance. Schopenhauer clearly expounded a double-sided theory to understand our real world. It points out that the world consists of will and appearance, which exist at the same time and are different from each other.
