favorite new quote
April 29th, 2007 Posted in General, theologyA man can do as he wills, but not will as he wills. — Arthur Schopenhauer
This is not a quote I could have sufficiently understood as a youth, and perhaps not even into my twenties. Even now into my thirties, like much of Arthur’s philosophy, it is not something I am willing to embrace. But I do realize that many of my objections to his philosphy were pure vanity.
