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

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
I honor religion except when it gets into shedding blood
If I was a bird, I know who I'd shit on
Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth
One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors
Principles have no real force except when one is well-fed
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all
