      I found "on the suffering of the world" by Schopenhauer to be eye opening, especially his thoughts on death.

      I find this a concise definition of good art:

      > The true work of art leads us from that which exists only once and never again, i.e. the individual, to that which exists perpetually and time and time again in innumerable manifestations, the pure form (or Idea).

      Schopenhauer, On the Suffering of the World
