" "(On the seeming futility of metaphysics) Why then has nature afflicted our reason with the restless striving for such a path, as if it were one of reason's most important occupations? Still more, how little cause have we to place trust in our reason if in one of the most important parts of our desire for knowledge it does not merely forsake us but even entices us with delusions and in the end betrays us!
Or if the path has merely eluded us so far, what indications may we use that might lead us to hope that in renewed attempts we will be luckier than those who have gone before us?

Additional quotes by Immanuel Kant
I do not say that things in themselves possess a quantity, that their reality possesses a degree, their existence a connection of accidents in a substance, etc. This nobody can prove, because such a synthetic connection from mere concepts, without any reference to sensuous intuition on the one side or connection of such intuition in a possible experience on the other, is absolutely impossible.
Következőleg a háborúba önmagában valami belső méltóságot helyeznek, annyira, hogy annak olykor még filozófusok is, mint az emberiség bizonyos megnemesülésének, dicsőítő beszédet tartanak, megfeledkezve ama görögnek mondásáról: „A háború abban rossz, hogy több rossz embert csinál, mint amennyit elpusztít.
