The majesty of duty has nothing to do with the enjoyment of life. Faith ... is the moral attitude of reason as to belief in that which is unattainable by theoretical cognition. It is therefore correct to say that the senses do not err - not because they always judge rightly, but because they do not judge at all. Deficiency in judgment is just what ordinarily is called stupidity, and for such a failing there is no remedy. I have no knowledge of myself as I am, but merely as I appear to myself. I have therefore found it necessary to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith. There can not be doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience. The true transcendental concept of infinitude is this, that the successive synthesis of units required for the enumeration of a quantum can never be completed. Time is purely a subjective condition or our (human) intuition, (which is always sensible, that is, so far as we are affected by objects), and in itself, apart from the subject, is nothing.
