Contra esa negligencia o banal modo de pensar que rebusca el principio entre motivaciones y leyes empíricas tampoco cabe promulgar con excesiva frecuencia demasiadas advertencias, porque, para no extenuarse, a la razón humana le gusta reposar sobre tal almohada y, al soñar con simulaciones más melifluas (que sin embargo le hacen estrechar entre sus brazos una nube en vez de abrazar a Juno), suplanta a la moralidad por un híbrido cuyo bastardo parentesco es de muy distinto linaje y que se parece a cuanto uno quiera ver en él, si bien jamás le confundirá con la virtud aquel que haya contemplado una sola vez su verdadero semblante.

Additional quotes by Immanuel Kant

Phenomena of the external sense are examined and set forth in physics; those of the internal sense in empirical psychology. Pure mathematics considers space in geometry and time in pure mechanics. To these is to be added a certain concept, intellectual to be sure in itself, but whose becoming actual in the concrete requires the auxiliary notions of time and space in the successive addition and simultaneous juxtaposition of separate units, which is the concept of number treated in arithmetic.
