But only he who, himself enlightened, is not afraid of shadows
German philosopher in the Age of Enlightenment. In his doctrine of transcendental idealism, he argued that space, time, and causation are mere sensibilities; "things-in-themselves" exist, but their nature is unknowable.
The death of dogma is the birth of morality
Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made.
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him
I had to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith
Dare to think!
Look closely. The beautiful may be small
The high-minded man must care more for the truth than for what people think.
Simplicity is a matter of taste
There is no sickness worse for me that words that to be kind must lie.
Power comes not from knowledge kept but from knowledge shared
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step
I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men
