The Wisdom of Life Quotes

“Schopenhauer's philosophy rests upon the Kantian distinction between what is, and what is rationally knowable. The world that one knows, the "phenomenal" world, is comprised entirely of one's own sensations and his rational interpretations of these. [...] If there is anything in the "noumeral" world, or the world as it is "in itself", that either corresponds or fails to correspond with this order, we cannot rationally know it.”
― Arthur Shopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life: Willpower and rational deliberation
