Schopenhauer quote |
Slattery, Diana |

Been trying to find the source for the Schopenhauer quote, "All truth passes through..." and found your page stating this is a misattribution.
Do you still hold this position? I love the quote and want to cite it in an upcoming aritcle for the journal "Configurations."
Best,
Diana Slattery

Schopenhauer quote |

Yes, it is a misattribution. There is no quote of that form in Schopenhauer's works. He did say something along those lines, namely,
"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. "
