Immanuel Kant
Image
THERE ARE TWO THINGS that don't have to mean anything, one is music and the other is laughter.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Religion is too important a matter to its devotees to be a subject of ridicule. If they indulge in absurdities, they are to be pitied rather than ridiculed.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Of all the arts poetry (which owes its origin almost entirely to genius and will least be guided by precept or example) maintains the first rank.
Immanuel Kant
Image
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
Image
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Immanuel Kant
Image
Do the right thing because it is right.
