"The greatest human quest is to know..." - Quote by Immanuel Kant

“Our intellect does not draw its laws from nature, but it imposes its laws upon nature.”

“Ingratitude is the essence of vileness.”

“It is often necessary to make a decision on the basis of knowledge sufficient for action but insufficient to satisfy the intellect.”

“The human race is a race of cowards; and I am not only marching in that procession but carrying a banner.”

“The idea of explaining why free trade is good, why immigration is good, why the world is so connected, that we need to think in terms of humanity and being generous to each other, you know, that's proving to be a challenge.”

“In some way or other we are part of a single, all-embracing psyche, a single 'greatest man. . . .'”

“How can a man know himself? He is a thing dark and veiled; and if the hare has seven skins, man can slough off seventy times seven and still not be able to say: "this is really you, this is no longer outer shell.”

“This is...self-knowled ge-for a man to know what he knows, and what he does not know.”

“To become acquainted with oneself is a terrible shock.”
