well i'm not huge fan of reading to be honest ...if i read must be something philosophical, metaphysics ...stuff like that, cuz i can't concentrate to long, so i need something ...hmmm interesting, something to learn from... No fiction stuff. Very rare. one of my favorite quotes: "Humans are active creatures who find themselves compelled to love, hate, desire, and reject; the knowledge that this nature is so is irreducible. Although the will is entirely real, it is not free, nor does it have any ultimate purpose. Rather, it is all-consuming, pointless, and negative, "all life is suffering." There is also no escape from the will in nature; expressions of the will are seen throughout nature--in the struggles of animals, the stirring of a seed, the turning of a magnet. The only purpose in life must be that of escaping the will and its painful strivings. The arts, with their "will-less perception," provide a temporary haven--especially music, the highest of the arts. The only final escape is sheer extinction of the will. Outright suicide will not do because it is an assertion of the will. The three aids to salvation are philosophic knowledge, contemplation of works of art, and sympathy for others."-Arthur Schopenhauer
