"To truth only a brief celebration of victory is allowed between the two long periods during which it is condemned as paradoxical, or disparaged as trivial."
- Arthur Schopenhauer, 1819
- majewsky 9y agoI wonder which truths he's referring to there, considering how every truth that was already known in that time seems even more trivial today. In other words: Which truths were just passing the threshold from paradoxical to trivial? (Or maybe he's just referring to political truths which are coming to light at about the same pace at all times.)
