1. Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
2. Turn to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post that sentence along with these instructions in your LiveJournal.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
"Diese Vollkommenheit, als Beschaffenheit des Menschen, folglich innere, ist nicht anders, als Talent, und, was dieses stärkt oder ergänzt, Geschicklichkeit."
Immanuel Kant, Kritik der praktischen Vernunft.
English Translation:
"This perfection, as a condition of man, there fore an inner one, is nothing but talent and aggravating that, dexterity."
Immanuel Kant, Review on practical rationality.
And no, this is no joke, I'm an ethics student so I read these books for university and as my university bag lays right behind me and this book was in there, it was the nearest one. I will leave at 11 a.m. for my university lecture abut that book, too. The other book in my bag would have been Jean-Jaques Rosseau, "Discours sur l'inégalité". :)
