Immanuel Kant

Freedom is the alone unoriginated birthright of man, and belongs to him by force of his humanity and is independence on the will and co-action of every other in so far as this consists with every other person's freedom.
Immanuel Kant
Image
We ourselves introduce that order and regularity in the appearance which we entitle nature. We could never find them in appearances had we not ourselves, by the nature of our own mind, originally set them there.
