I had to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith
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.
But only he who, himself enlightened, is not afraid of shadows
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
Dare to think!
Look closely. The beautiful may be small
You must never be fearful of what you are doing when it is right
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think
No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone
He who hid well, lived well
No one nor anything can silence me
I have far more confidence in the one man who works mentally and bodily at a matter than in the six who merely talk about it
