More notes on Schopenhauer

(Originally written May 1, 2006 in Book 3)

Schopenhauer

Life's three greatest blessings are youth, freedom and health; but, we only appreciate them once we have lost them.

Time is only noticed when we are bored, not when we are amused.

Existence is happiest when it is least noticed.

Despite Schopenhauer's pessimistic outlook, he still believes life should be lived as long as possible.

Art plays a central role in Schopenhauer's philosophy.
