The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“Every living creature is happy when he fulfills his destiny, that is, when he realizes himself, when he is being that which in truth he is.

What is Philosophy? • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Loyalty that is bought with money, may be overcome by money.”
