“To be a philosopher, that is to say, a lover of wisdom (for wisdom is nothing but truth), it is not enough for a man to love truth, in so far as it is compatible with his own interest, with the will of his superiors, with the dogmas of the church, or with the prejudices and tastes of his contemporaries; so long as he rests content with this position, he is only a philautos [a lover of self], not a philosophos [a lover of wisdom].”

— Arthur Schopenhauer, “Sketch of a History of the Doctrine of the Ideal and the Real”, Parerga and Paralipomena
