Also, it's somewhat misleading to attribute the best of all possible worlds quote to Voltaire. This was a view he satirized harshly, but it sounds like he's endorsing it.

The Galileo quote is heavily disputed, and probably fictional.

It's meant to imply that we all have a purpose in life and that we all do what we are meant to do and that we cant do anything other than what we were meant to do. Once you have fullfilled your purpose you die.....

So were the Upanishads from India, he says "It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death!" ... Buddha doesn't belong in this video, nonetheless it is a good video.

Fair point, just my wee guess really

Yes I found it in a book right after Schopenhauer, so I thought it would be nice to add him too, nice quote too.
"True ignorance is not the absence of knowledge, but the refusal to acquire it."
