Kafka vs Schopenhauer

1. Put on the album ‘The Blue Notebooks’ by Max Richter.

1.1. Franz Kafka in ‘The Blue Octavo Notebooks’:

“Celibacy and suicide are on similar levels of understanding, suicide and a martyr’s death not so by any means, perhaps marriage and a martyr’s death.”

1.2. Arthur Schopenhauer:

“They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice… that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.”

“Martyrdom is the only way a man can become famous without ability.”

“To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties.”
