"Namun, sama seperti tubuh kita akan hancur berkeping-keping jika tekanan atmosfer dihilangkan darinya, begitu pula kesombongan manusia meluas, jika tidak sampai meledak kemudian ke kebodohan yang paling tak terkendali, memang kegilaan, jika tekanan keinginan, kerja keras, musibah, dan frustrasi dihilangkan dari kehidupan mereka. Seseorang bahkan dapat mengatakan bahwa kita membutuhkan setiap saat sejumlah perawatan atau kesedihan atau keinginan, seperti kapal membutuhkan pemberat, agar tetap pada jalur yang lurus."

--- Arthur Schopenhauer

Versi Bahasa Inggris

And yet, just as our body would burst asunder if the pressure of the atmosphere were removed from it, so would the arrogance of men expand, if not to the point of bursting then to that of the most unbridled folly, indeed madness, if the pressure of want, toil, calamity and frustration were removed from their life. One can even say that we require at all times a certain quantity of care or sorrow or want, as a ship requires ballast, in order to keep on a straight course.
