Masked Beauty At a Ball, Immanuel Kant and Saul Steinberg

 Arthur Schopenhauer assessing Immanuel Kant’s moral philosophy:

 “I should liken Kant to a man at a ball, who all evening has been carrying on a love affair with a masked beauty in the vain hope of making a conquest, when at last she throws off her mask and reveals herself to be his wife”

(On the Basis of Morality)
