"Follow the path of your aroused thought, and you will soon meet this infernal inscription: There is nothing so beautiful as that which does not exist." This quote is by Arthur Schopenhauer, who was an 18th century philosopher. He believed that the world is filled with suffering because it is based on desire, and that human beings should strive to overcome this suffering by denying their desires. He believed that good and moral actions are done for the sake of pleasure, but that pleasure can only be found in future pleasures.
