Dignity is a value that creates irreplaceability.

Give me matter, and I will construct a world out of it!

Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one’s understanding without guidance from another.

The history of nature, begins with good, for it is God’s work; the history of freedom begins with badness, for it is man’s work.

Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.

If the truth shall kill them, let them die.

Experience may teach us what is, but never that it cannot be otherwise.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.

Man must be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild.

Treat people as an end, and never as a means to an end.

Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play.

What might be said of things in themselves, separated from all relationship to our senses, remains for us absolutely unknown.

We are enriched not by what we possess, but by what we can do without.

For peace to reign on Earth, humans must evolve into new beings who have learned to see the whole first.

Freedom is the opposite of necessity.

Without man and his potential for moral progress, the whole of reality would be a mere wilderness, a thing in vain, and have no final purpose.

Only the truth of who you are, if realized, will set you free.

When you embrace freedom, you also embrace loneliness.

Have the brave heart to dream so freely, that the memories of the future weight heavier than the ones from the past.

You have everything you need, For pastures new, greater things. Thoughts to grow, new bonds to seed. Be not what they want, be what sets you free.

The most beautiful thing in the world is freedom of speech.

Who will be your lighthouse? who will guide you on this journey at sea? Who will lead you towards shipwreck? Who do you need to let free?

Leave the dreamers alone! You will never catch them.

She was the freedom of his existence that rushed in like tsunami, that ignited his breaths into calm.
