Last class I wrote down, in quotes, "Knowledge is possible because we make it so." Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this was Schopenhauer furthering Kant's idea of the mind, the world and how they work together. I'm not sure why, but this sentence really struck me. Like, the only reason I have knowledge of something, is because I make it that way. I make up my own knowledge. This idea is almost unattainable to me, the idea that, for example, in class, the tree that is the tree, and the tree that is in our minds.
In any event, I loved Schopenhauer's view of the mind and the world as one.
