More From Immanuel Kant

ِan offer you can't refuse.

We are so anxious to achieve some particular end that we never pay attention to the psycho-physical means whereby that end is to be gained. so far as we are concerned, any old means is good enough. but the nature of the universe is such that ends can never justify the means. on the contrary, the means always determine the end.

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. never use a long word where a short one will do. if it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. never use the passive voice where you can use the active. never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday english equivalent. break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

You must learn to forgive yourself as easily as you forgive others. and then take a further step and use all that energy that you used in condemning yourself for improving yourself. after that i really started to get somewhere - because there's only one person you can change and that's yourself. after you have changed yourself, you might be able to inspire others to look for change.

The conviction: i will not tolerate this age. the freedom: the freedom to act on my conviction. and i will act. no one else has both the conviction and the freedom. many agree with me, have the conviction, but will not act. some act, assassinate, bomb, burn, etc., but they are the crazies. crazy acts by crazy people. but what if one, sober, reasonable, and honorable man should act, and act with perfect sobriety, reason, and honor? then you have the beginning of a new age. we shall start a new order of things.

To be beautiful means to be yourself.you don't need to be accepted by others. you need to accept yourself. when you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. if you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. true happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

I just love musicians. they're not all super-happy all the time, but when they're playing they're happy, and it's such a beautiful thing.

If you say my eyes are beautiful, it's because they are looking at you.

Writing is not like dancing or modeling; it's not something where-if you missed it by age 19-you're finished. it's never too late. your writing will only get better as you get older and wiser. if you write something beautiful and important, and the right person somehow discovers it, they will clear room for you on the bookshelves of the world-at any age. at least try.

Here in this moment we are beautiful, nocturnal creatures and our thoughts and words are jewels guarded by the moon.
