Arthur Schopenhauer : (3) " As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself. " - Arthur Schopenhauer " National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right. " - Arthur Schopenhauer " Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other. " - Arthur Schopenhauer
