I'm surprised this cite hasn't shown up yet:
https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~shallit/Papers/stages.pdf
along with this quote from the paper:
~~
"This dubious Schopenhauer citation has been used
to support non-mainstream or controversial views on
such diverse topics as the feelings of fish [3],
megadose vitamin C therapy [32], drug legalization[25],
network marketing [12], acupuncture [33], supranational
government [24], repressed memory [28], libertarianism [35],
anti-vaccination [9], and human cloning [23]. It has even
been cited in a court case in Florida [18].
A common feature of all these citations is the lack of
any reference to where in Schopenhauer's work the quotation
can be found."
As the URL I referenced indicated, Schopenhauer //did// say this -- but in a
different way.
