Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Literature“No one writes anything worth writing, unless he writes entirely for the sake of his subject.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, The Art of Literature“A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner”
