Johann Gottlieb Fichte also said...

The kind of philosophy one chooses thus depends on the kind of person one is.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte /

Do not be deceived by sophists and half philosophers; things do not appear to thee by means of any representatives. Of the thing that exists, and that can exist, thou art conscious immediately ; thou, thyself, art that of which thou art conscious. By a fundamental law of thy being thou art thus presented to thyself, and thrown out of thyself.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

Who am I? Subject and object in one — contemplating and contemplated, thinking and thought of. As both must I have become what I am.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

My own being is this tie, I am at once the subject knowing, and the object known of; and this reflection or return of the knowledge on itself is what I designate by the term I, if I have any determinate meaning.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte

By mere burial man arrives not at bliss and in the future life, throughout its whole infinite range, they will seek for happiness as vainly as they sought it here, who seek it in aught else than that which so closely surrounds them here - the Infinite.
