Gloriously Dreadful "The world, considered as object ,—in other words, as it is presented to us objectively,—wears in general a pleasing aspect; but... in the world, considered as subject ,—that is, in regard to its inner nature, which is will ,—pain and trouble predominate. I may be allowed to express the matter, briefly, thus: the world is glorious to look at, but dreadful in reality " (p. 130). Schopenhauer, Arthur. Counsels And Maxims. 1851. T. Bailey Saunders (trans.), George Allen & Unwin, 1924. https://archive.org/details/counselsandmaxim033505mbp/page/n7/mode/2up
