In 1778, Voltaire died at the age of 84, and the church refused to bury him in Paris.

1. Kant (1724-184) German philosopher

Kant is a stubborn little old man, because he has never left Konigsberg in his life. It was in his acre of land that he wrote Critique of Pure Reason, and then philosophers all over the world began to study it carefully. He has lived for decades, and his afternoon walks are so punctual that people in Konigsberg use him to adjust the time of the wall clock. He lived step by step, without a wife and children, until the flowers of life faded. Schopenhauer said that only a philosopher's marriage can be happy, and a real philosopher doesn't need to get married. Presumably, Kant also knows the meaning of this paradox.

11. Beethoven (177-1829) German musician

Beethoven, with his veritable anger and his surly eyes, was cold and intimidating. It was this angry man who wrote the heroic symphony and the destiny symphony, and it was this angry man who wrote the gentle moonlight and to Alice. Beethoven's life was full of pain, his love was not smooth, and he was deaf in his prime. He loved countless women, but they all preferred to marry others because he was ugly? Or humble origin? We don't know. All we know is that he became more angry and then wrote more beautiful music. Who can tell?

12. Schopenhauer (1788-186) German philosopher

Schopenhauer lived a lonely life, without a wife, children or even a mother (he broke up with his mother in his twenties and hated women the most in his life), leading a lonely, melancholy and cynical life. Schopenhauer hates all women in the world. He thinks women are cunning, hypocritical and irrational. What he can't figure out most in his life is why so many stupid men like those ugly women with narrow shoulders/short legs/fat buttocks. He said that love is a lie, and marriage is the grave. If one person is unhappy, many people will not be happy. We are like hedgehogs crowded together. We can't get too close, because it will prick people, and we can't go too far, because we are afraid of the cold.

13. Van Gogh (1853-189) Dutch painter

No matter what sky-high price Van Gogh's paintings can fetch, it has nothing to do with him.

After Gauguin left, Van Gogh cut off his ear.

So far, the only president in American history who has never married for life. Buchanan chose celibacy because he fell in love with the rich man's daughter when he was young, but was blocked by his parents, who thought that he was in love with her family's property. The daughter listened to her parents' rumors, regretted everything, and even committed suicide. "I feel that happiness has gone away from me," Buchanan once said sadly, and then he devoted himself to politics and filled his heart with fatigue with his career. During his tenure, the role of hostess of the White House fell to his niece, who seemed to be more loved than her uncle. Buchanan said before he died: "I faithfully performed my duties with a clear conscience. I have no regrets. History will prove my spotless life."

I left behind a series of beautiful fairy tales such as The Daughter of the Sea, The Little Match Girl and The Emperor's New Clothes, but I left my loneliness to myself.

16. Jane Austen (1775-1817) British writer

Austen lived in old England and finally became an old maid herself. "What Mrs. Bennard worries about all day is how to get her five daughters married smoothly." This is the beginning of Jane's most famous novel Pride and Prejudice. Presumably, Austin's mother had the same troubles as Mrs. Bennard. Different from the novel, Austin's mother finally didn't see the day when her daughter got married. Austin is smart and beautiful, and is said to have been infatuated. Young lovelorn is the reason why she never married. Some people say that she may be lesbian, and her very close relationship with her sister makes people suspicious (her sister Cassandra burned most of Jane's letters to her before she died), but all these are beyond examination. The only thing that can be tested is that Elizabeth found Darcy in the novel, but Austin did not find the one who belongs to her. At the age of 42, she died young.

After the death of Ma, he also compiled documents and published anthologies for him. He was deeply affectionate to Marx. Engels lived with Mary, an Irish textile worker, at the age of 22, until Mary died in 1863, and then Engels lived with Mary's sister Leahy. He never went through the marriage formalities, because in Family, Marriage and Private Ownership, he once said: Marriage, those ceremonies approved by the state and held in the church are unnecessary.

18. Nobel (1833-1895) Swedish scientist

Nobel's greatest achievement in his life was not to invent explosives, but to award an award. Regardless of nationality, regardless of gender, only your contribution was considered, which made all the great scientists (writers and pacifists) in later generations shrouded in his aura. Nobel won the merits of the future with only one will. Nobel has never been in love, but it is a pity that all the lovely people who are loved marry others. As for the fact that he didn't set up the math prize in the end, it was because his rival in love was a mathematician, but in fact, most of them were invented by good people.

19. Nietzsche (1844-19) German philosopher

In 1875, at the age of 31, Nietzsche said, "I wandered around like a rhinoceros." At that time, all his best friends got married one after another, and only he had no feelings to return to. Finally, he gave his virginity to a brothel and contracted syphilis. Then he said angrily, Are you going to a woman? Don't forget to bring your whip! After the age of 45, Nietzsche fell into madness. After quarreling with his best friend Wagner, he was sent to a mental hospital. His only sister took care of him for ten years. On the morning of the new century, he passed away quietly.

During World War II, Garbo once said: I will kill him. She is a real cold beauty: confused, lost and lonely. She comments: I am clumsy, shy, nervous and afraid, and I am too sensitive to my English, which is why I built a high wall around myself and hid behind it forever. "I will be single all my life", this is the line of Garbo in Queen Christina, and she practiced it well. "Have you really never loved anyone else?" Someone asked, "Yes, Stiehler." A director and comrade who took Garbo to Hollywood. Garbo was nominated for four Oscars, but never won an award. Later, the Oscar Committee specially awarded Garbo an award for her shining performance in the film. Of course, she didn't receive it. Her friend said that she had never seen that award in her home. She is a mysterious girl forever.

21: Paul Sartre (195-198): French existentialist philosopher

Sartre is always like this: with a big pipe in his mouth, a pair of eyes that don't believe you are staring at others behind thick glasses. He didn't believe in people, and he refused all official honors (including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1964). He was hailed as "the conscience of mankind in the 2th century". Sartre's love with Beauvoir, the pioneer of feminism, is called a beautiful talk in the history of philosophy. They spare no effort to practice their own philosophy, and even for a time, they had an affair with Olga, a student of Beauvoir, on the grounds of re-establishing the relationship between people. It is impossible for Beauvoir to marry Sartre, because her feminist thought is so thorough that she refuses any possibility of male superiority, let alone marriage as a woman's yoke? Sartre died in 198, and 6, Parisians gave him a mighty funeral. At that time, French President D 'Estaing said: Sartre's death made me feel that a bright light of human wisdom was extinguished.
