All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Does anyone know the source for this quote? It is tossed around as coming from Schopenhauer, but with no citation and occasional claims that it was really George Bernard Shaw. I can’t use a quote without an accurate citation for it. If anyone has a reliable source for Scopenhauer having said this (or anyone else, for that matter), please feel free to contact me directly at bmsiegel@comcast.net
Thanks
