Spirit: Do not be deceived by sophists and half philosophers; things do not appear to thee by means of any representatives.

By a fundamental law of thy being thou art thus presented to thyself, and thrown out of thyself. (Johann Gottlieb Fichte)
That I should by necessity be either wise and good, or foolish or vicious, without having in one case or the other merit or fault - this it was that filled me with aversion and horror.The determination of my actions by a cause out of myself, whose manifestations were again determined by other causes - this it was from which I so violently revolted.The freedom which was not mine, but that of a foreign power, and, in that, only a conditional, half freedom - this it was with which I could not rest satisfied. I myself - that which in this system only appears as the manifestation of a higher existence, I will be independent, - will be something, not by another or through another, but of myself. View quote
