Kant's Bride, or the Philosopher in Search of Eternal Femininity

"Two things fill my mind with ever-increasing wonder and awe: the starry sky above me and the moral law within me. I admire their timeless harmony. But there is also something funny, low, and absurd in our lives that impresses me even more, the more it contradicts our mind and logic. And I'm amazed that in this very funny, low, and absurd, we can find our unconditional freedom - freedom from the ideas imposed on us, freedom from ourselves." - Immanuel Kant, from a letter to his fiancée.
