Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) was a German philosopher known for his philosophical clarity. He has made one of the most valuable observations on the shifting of human views on truth as he stated that all truth goes through three steps:

1. First, it is ridiculed.
2. Second, it is violently opposed.
3. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident

This is true for all areas of life.
