The sacredness of religion, and the authority of legislation, are by many regarded as grounds of exemption from the examination of this tribunal. But… - Immanuel Kant

...We find that the more a cultivated reason applies itself with deliberate purpose to the enjoyment of life and happiness, so much the more does the man fail of true satisfaction... even from the sciences... they find that they have, in fact, only brought more trouble on their shoulders rather than gained in happiness; and they end by envying rather than despising the more common stamp of men who keep closer to the guidance of mere instinct, and do not allow their reason much influence on their conduct... [T]here lies at the root of these judgments the idea that our existence has a different and far nobler end, for which, and not for happiness, reason is properly intended...

In all judgements by which we describe anything as beautiful, we allow no one to be of another opinion.

It would be impossible to represent to ourselves darkness, unless light had been given to the senses.
