Think of something finite molded into the infinite, and you think of man.

Ideas are infinite, original, and lively divine thoughts.

Man is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.

Eternal life and the invisible world are only to be sought in God. Only within Him do all spirits dwell. He is an abyss of individuality, the only infinite plenitude.

Duty is for Kant the One and All. Out of the duty of gratitude, he claims, one has to defend and esteem the ancients; and only out of duty has he become a great man.

Combine the extremes, and you will have the true center.
