Emmanuel Kant

1. ". . . though all our knowledge begins with experience, it by no means follows, that all arises out of experience. For, on the contrary, it is quite possible that our empirical knowledge is a compound of that which we receive through impressions, and that which the faculty of cognition supplies from itself" (Hawkes 64).

2. ". . . Liberation from superstition is called enlightenment; for although liberation from prejudices generally may be called enlightenment, still superstition deserves to be called a prejudice preeminently, since the blindness that superstition creates in a person, which indeed it seems to demand as an obligation, reveals especially well the person's need to be guided by others, and hence his state of passive reason" (Hawkes 72).
