All the concepts with which we compare the finite to the infinite, such as: God, freedom, the good, etc. we make it the subject of logical research. Yet they are inaccessible to the critique of reason. If it weren't so terrible, it would be ridiculous with the arrogance and childish self-satisfaction with which we take apart the clock, take out the springs as a toy - and then we are amazed that the clock no longer runs.

Hungarian

"Mindazokat a fogalmakat, melyekkel a végest a végtelenhez hasonlítjuk, mint: Isten, szabadság, a jó stb. logikai kutatás tárgyává tesszük. Pedig hozzáférhetetlenek az értelem kritikája számára. Ha nem volna olyan rémes, nevetséges volna, mily gőggel és gyermeki önelégültséggel szedjük szét az órát, vesszük ki játékszerül a rugókat - s azután mint csodálkozunk, hogy az óra nem jár többé."
