"It is not God’s will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy." ― Immanuel Kant Topic(s): God More From Immanuel Kant "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." "But although all our knowledge begins with experience, it does not follow that it arises from experience." "What can I know? What ought I to do? What can I hope?" More In God "God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness."― Aldous Huxley "I am in love – and, my God, it is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I tell you, find a woman you can fall in love with. Do it. Let yourself fall in love. If you have not done so already, you are wasting your life."― David Herbert Lawrence "I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it."― Alice Walker
