"[...] to those in whom the will has turned and denied itself, this very real world of ours, with all its suns and galaxies, is - nothing.” —Arthur Schopenhauer

“On the contrary, we freely acknowledge that what remains after the complete abolition of the will is, for all who are still full of will, assuredly nothing. But also conversely, to those in whom the will has turned and denied itself, this very real world of ours, with all its suns and galaxies, is - nothing.”

—Arthur Schopenhauer
