“A day wasted on others is not wasted on one's self.”
― Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

“For the normative self-understanding of modernity, Christianity has functioned as more than just a precursor or catalyst. Universalistic egalitarianism, from which sprang the ideals of freedom and a collective life in solidarity, the autonomous conduct of life and emancipation, the individual morality of conscience, human rights and democracy, is the direct legacy of the Judaic ethic of justice and the Christian ethic of love. This legacy, substantially unchanged, has been the object of a continual critical reappropriation and reinterpretation. Up to this very day there is no alternative to it. And in light of the current challenges of a post-national constellation, we must draw sustenance now, as in the past, from this substance. Everything else is idle postmodern talk.”
― Jürgen Habermas

“What is experienced from within cannot be categorized in concepts that have been developed for the external world of the senses.”
― Wilhelm Dilthey

“In the case of lived experience, there is no difference between an object that is perceived and the eye that perceives it.”
― Wilhelm Dilthey
