Will and Representation: Schopenhauer divides reality into two parts. The world, as we perceive it through the senses, is merely an illusion or "representation." The true essence behind everything is a blind, incessant, and irrational force called "Will."

— Arthur Schopenhauer

“There is not much to be got anywhere in the world. It is filled with misery and pain; if a man escapes these, boredom lies in wait for him at every corner. Nay more; it is evil which generally has the upper hand, and folly that makes the most noise. Fate is cruel and mankind pitiable.”

— Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life

Every individual is the subject of knowing, in other words, the supplementary condition of the possibility of the whole objective world, and, on the other, a particular phenomenon of the will, of that will which objectifies itself in each thing. But this double character of our inner being does not rest on a self-existent unity, otherwise it would be possible for us to be conscious of ourselves in ourselves and independently of the objects of knowing and willing. Now we simply cannot do this, but as soon as we enter into ourselves fully by directing our knowledge inwards, we lose ourselves in a bottomless void; we find ourselves like a hollow glass globe, from the emptiness of which a voice speaks. But the cause of this voice is not to be found in the globe, and since we want to comprehend ourselves, we grasp with a shudder nothing but a wavering and unstable phantom.

“Troverai poche anime compatibili con la tua, e quando sarà, sembrerà di parlare pur rimanendo in silenzio. Le anime affini si salutano già vedendosi da lontano.”
