Because he's a real smart guy OP, obviously.

The brain is the objectification of the will in the form of thought, Schop. had an overdeveloped intellect, i.e. thirsty-brain (which is why he spent his life bitching about shit and not getting laid like he wanted to as a creature of the will).

Yes but I only read Schopenhauer for the prose ;)

Unironically can't blame you, Schopenhauer's prose is phenomenal. Kafka thought you should read him just for the prose, Strindberg commended him for it, and Kierkegaard considered him a forerunner for his own attempts at combining literary beauty with philosophy.

How would one go about learning how to write in such splendid aphorisms?

Would you need to dedicate all of yourself to the task?

look at how heavy that thing is, his entire body is tilted; propping his elbow up on that table is all he can do to keep from capsizing

Head size isn't just a meme; many studies have shown a correlation between big heads and high IQ scores. People with larger heads are also less likely to experience a decline in memory and other cognitive abilities as they age
