When Schopenhauer was asked where he wished to be buried, he answered,

"Anywhere; they will find me;" and the stone that marks his grave at

Frankfort bears merely the inscription "Arthur Schopenhauer," without

even the date of his birth or death. Schopenhauer, the pessimist, had a

sufficiently optimistic conviction that his message to the world would

ultimately be listened to--a conviction that never failed him during a

lifetime of disappointments, of neglect in quarters where perhaps he

would have most cherished appreciation; a conviction that only showed

some signs of being justified a few years before his death. Schopenhauer

was no opportunist; he was not even conciliatory; he never hesitated to

declare his own faith in himself, in his principles, in his philosophy;

he did not ask to be listened to as a matter of courtesy but as a

right--a right for which he would struggle, for which he fought, and

which has in the course of time, it may be admitted, been conceded to

him.
