Man, as a form, bears within him the eternal principle of being, and by economic movement along his endless path his form is also transformed, just as everything that lives in nature was transformed in him.

About This Quote

The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer said, “Man as a form bears within him the eternal principle of being, and by economic movement along his endless path his form is also transformed, just as everything that lives in nature was transformed in him.” The point he’s making here is that we are all changing all the time. That’s because we are “economic movement” and we change every time we interact with our environment. We all look different to each other now than we did 20 years ago because we’ve grown and changed.
