Schopenhauer is claimed to have said:
"All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it
is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

My own ideas about the ancient sounds of some Hebrew letters, idiom
formation via transliteration, and (body-part) anthropomorphic maps are
currently passing from stage 1 to state 2.

I could not find anywhere Schopenhauer said this (in German or English) but
I did find this item by Jeffrey Shallit:
http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/cyc/l/law3.htm
in which he quotes a similar statement by Schopenhauer:
"To truth only a brief celebration of victory is allowed between the two
long periods during which it is condemned as paradoxical, or disparaged as
trivial."

Ciao, Izzy
