Criticizing the means and forms of human cognition and questioning their validity would be an impossible, dishonorable and evil enterprise if it were ever combined with any other goal than to set a limit for the intellect, which it cannot cross without neglecting its real task.
""Az emberi megismerés eszközeit és formáit bírálni, érvényességüket kétségbe vonni képtelen, becstelen és gonosztól való vállalkozás lenne, ha valaha is más céllal párosulna, mint azzal, hogy az értelemnek korlátot szabjunk, amelyen nem léphet át anélkül, hogy voltaképpeni feladatát el ne hanyagolná."
