Nature cares nothing for logic, our human logic: she has her own, which we do not recognize and do not acknowledge until we are crushed under its wheel.

About This Quote

When a person is at a loss for words, they often resort to a quote from someone else. They may not be right, but the words will give them something to think on and let them know how they feel. This quote is just one example of that. The quote comes from the book "The Metaphysics of Morals," written by Immanuel Kant in 1785.

In it, Kant comments on the illogical nature of human logic and the illogical nature of nature. Kant’s theory on ethics and morality centered around his belief in universal law and karma. He believed that we would all be rewarded or punished for our actions and that everything we do will have an effect on our lives and our lives after life.
