Arthur Schopenhauer. The world as will and representation (№ 410254)

I am sending my book into the world with deep seriousness - in the hope that sooner or later it will reach those to whom it was solely intended. And I calmly submit to the fact that she will be fully comprehended by the same fate that in every knowledge, and even more so in the most important, has always fallen to the lot of truth: she is destined only for a short triumphant triumph between two long periods of time when she is rejected as a paradox and when it is neglected as triviality.
