The enlightenment is under threat. So is reason. So is truth. So is science, especially in the schools of America.

I don't believe that human beings can achieve ultimate enlightenment, because humans have flaws.

The real meaning of enlightenment is to gaze with undimmed eyes on all darkness.

The Enlightenment view of mankind is a complete myth. It leads us into thinking we're sane and rational creatures most of the time, and we're not.

Enlightenment is not something you achieve. It is the absence of something. All your life you have been going forward after something, pursuing some goal. Enlightenment is dropping all that.

I'm intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.

And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.

I'm very much an Enlightenment kind of guy.

We must believe that it is the darkest before the dawn of a beautiful new world. We will see it when we believe it.

We're in an age of enlightenment, and we have a choice as a society which path to take.
