The public use of man’s reason must always be free, and it alone can bring about enlightenment among men.[Der öffentliche Gebrauch seiner Vernunft muß jederzeit frei sein, und der allein kann Aufklärung unter Menschen zu Stande bringen.]
The desire of a man for a woman is not directed to her as a human being; on the contrary, the woman’s humanity is of no concern to him, and the only object of his desire is her sex.
Man’s greatest concern is to know how he shall properly fill his place in the universe and correctly understand what he must be in order to be a man.
Man wishes concord, but nature, knowing better what is good for his species, wishes discord.[Der Mensch will Eintracht; aber die Natur weiß besser, was für seine Gattung gut ist: sie will Zwietracht.]
Man must be disciplined, for he is by nature raw and wild.
By a lie a man throws away and, as it were, annihilates his dignity as a man.[Die Lüge ist Wegwerfung und gleichsam Vernichtung seiner Menschenwürde.]
