Arthur Schopenhauer
“Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.”
Arthur Schopenhauer

Emil M. Cioran
“It is not worth the bother of killing yourself, since you always kill yourself too late.”
Emil Cioran, The Trouble With Being Born

Adolf Hitler
“It is necessary that I should die for my people; but my spirit will rise from the grave and the whole world will know that I was right”
Adolf Hitler

Alexandre Dumas
“There is neither happiness nor unhappiness in this world; there is only the comparison of one state with another. Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. It is necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.....the sum of all human wisdom will be contained in these two words: Wait and Hope.”
Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
