"the world around us exists only as our perception - that is the truth for every alive cognitive creature, though only human can reflect it in his abstract consciousness. This is the base of his philosophical prudence. In this reflection it is clear to him, that he does not know the sun or the earth but only the eye, which sees the sun and the hand which feels the earth. It is clear to him, that the world is only a perception, it exists only in relation to the other; to himself. Even he is a mere perception of himself. So the world is my perception: and the world is pure will. In short, the whole world is only "an object in relation to a subject", this is the truth, which needs no proof."
