"The inscrutable wisdom through which we exist..." - Quote by Immanuel Kant

“The function of the true state is to impose the minimum restrictions and safeguard the maximum liberties of the people, and it never regards the person as a thing.”

“A categorical imperative would be one which represented an action as objectively necessary in itself, without reference to any other purpose.”

“I feel a complete thirst for knowledge and an eager unrest to go further in it as well as satisfaction at every acquisition. There was a time when I believed that this alone could constitute the honor of mankind, and I had contempt for the ignorant rabble who know nothing.”

“There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness. One With Life.”

“Listen. Say yes. Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often.”

“Reason has to be strengthened by suffering, and suffering opens the eyes of understanding.”

“The notion of the infinite expanse and copiousness of the cosmos is the result of the mixture, carried to the extreme limit, of laborious creation and free self-determination.”

“Life is like an overlong drama through which we sit being nagged by the vague memories of having read the reviews.”

“And do you know, do you know that mankind can live without the Englishman, it can live without Germany, it can live only too well without the Russian man, it can live without science, without bread, and it only cannot live without beauty, for then there would be nothing at all to do in the world! The whole secret is here, the whole of history is here. Science itself would not stand for a minute without beauty”
