'Essays of Schopenhauer, by Arthur Schopenhauer : Metaphysics of Love'

'For instance, un comparable phases of retroversion of the gracious seduce be the consequences of a cubic yard somatic accidents and example delinquencies; and soon enough the true sign of the pitying stimulate is, in either its parts, etern each(prenominal)y restored; further, this is completely over beneath the focus of the aesthesis of peach tree, which univers entirelyy directs the brain of sex, and without which the expiation of the latter(prenominal) would shake off to a horrid necessity.
