Quote by Safranski

“Schopenhauer dreamed a different dream: perhaps reason might detach itself, if only for a few moments, from will, so that the will might relax into playing and reason into pure seeing. He dreamed this dream in philosophy, in art, and above all in music. Never before and never since has such moving philosophy been made about music as by Schopenhauer" - Safranski”
