"You have seen the Absolute I in a great predicament, and of course it is very impolite of the Not-I, which has been subject to law, to fly through the window panes. It goes with [Fichte], however, as it goes with the Creator and Maintainer of all things, who, as the theologians tell us, also cannot manage his creatures."
-- Letter of Goethe to Voigt, cited in Fichte, The Self and the Calling of Philosophy, 1762-1799, Anthony J. La Vopa, 2001, p. 265.
