Schopenhauer
Mar. 14th, 2013 06:00 amIf you are quite alone and a little bookish, here is a notion to feed you some consolation.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The wise man will, above all, strive after freedom from pain and annoyance, quiet and leisure, consequently a tranquil, modest life, with as few encounters as may be; and so, after a little experience of his so-called fellow men, he will elect to live in retirement, or even, if he is a man of great intellect, in solitude. For the more a man has in himself, the less he will want from other people, - the less, indeed, other people can be to him. This is why a high degree of intellect tends to make a man unsocial.
-- Arthur Schopenhauer, “The Wisdom of Life”
