It is absurd to expect to be enlightened by Reason, and at the same time to prescribe to her what side of the question she must adopt.

 Upon the whole, there remains nothing, which can give us an esteem for power and riches, and a contempt for meanness and poverty, except the principle of sympathy, by which we enter into the sentiments of the rich and poor, and partake of their pleasure and uneasiness. Nay she has sometimes such an influence, that she can stop our progress, even in the midst of our most profound reflections, and keep us from running on with all the consequences of any philosophical opinion. By observation and analysis of phenomena we penetrate into the interior of nature, and no one can say what progress this knowledge may make in time. Permanence is, in fact, just another expression for time, as the abiding correlate of all existence of phenomena, and of all change, and of all coexistence. Understanding accordingly limits sensibility, without at the same time enlarging its own field. ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATES.  

On the other hand, those who maintain the absolute reality of time and space, whether as essentially subsisting, or only inhering, as modifications, in things, must find themselves at utter variance with the principles of experience itself.
