Immanuel Kant quote: "Look closely. The beautiful may be small."
Look closely. The beautiful may be small. Immanuel Kant
One age cannot bind itself, and thus conspire, to place a succeeding one in a condition whereby it would be impossible for the later age to expand its knowledge (particularly where it is so very important), to rid itself of errors, and generally to increase its enlightenment. That would be a crime against human nature, whose essential destiny lies precisely in such progress; subsequent generations are thus completely justified in dismissing such agreements as unauthorized and criminal.

Immanuel Kant quote: "Beauty presents an indeterminate concept of Understanding, the..."
Beauty presents an indeterminate concept of Understanding, the sublime an indeterminate concept of Reason. Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant quote: "In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful,..."
In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion. Immanuel Kant
It is the Land of Truth (enchanted name!), surrounded by a wide and stormy ocean, the true home of illusion, where many a fog bank and ice, that soon melts away, tempt us to believe in new lands, while constantly deceiving the adventurous mariner with vain hopes, and involving him in adventures which he can never leave, yet never bring to an end. Immanuel Kant
The schematicism by which our understanding deals with the phenomenal world ... is a skill so deeply hidden in the human soul that we shall hardly guess the secret trick that Nature here employs. Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant quote: "How then is perfection to be sought? Wherein lies our hope? In..."
How then is perfection to be sought? Wherein lies our hope? In education, and in nothing else. Immanuel Kant
All false art, all vain wisdom, lasts its time but finally destroys itself, and its highest culture is also the epoch of its decay. Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant quote: "What might be said of things in themselves, separated from all..."
What might be said of things in themselves, separated from all relationship to our senses, remains for us absolutely unknown Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant quote: "Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is..."
Have patience awhile; slanders are not long-lived. Truth is the child of time; erelong she shall appear to vindicate thee. Immanuel Kant
Laziness and cowardice explain why so many men. . . remain under a life-long tutelage and why it is so easy for some men to set themselves up as the guardians of all the rest. . . If I have a book which understands for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a doctor who decides my diet, I need not trouble myself. If I am willing to pay, I need not think. Others will do it for me. Immanuel Kant
True politics cannot take a single step without first paying homage to morals, and while politics itself is a difficult art, its combination with morals is no art at all; for morals cuts the Gordian knot which politics cannot solve as soon as the two are in conflict. Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant quote: "Space and time are the framework within which the mind is..."
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality. Immanuel Kant
The light dove, in free flight cutting through the air the resistance of which it feels, could get the idea that it could do even better in airless space. Likewise, Plato abandoned the world of the senses because it posed so many hindrances for the understanding, and dared to go beyond it on the wings of the ideas, in the empty space of pure understanding. Immanuel Kant
Immanuel Kant quote: "For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new..."
For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first. Immanuel Kant
