“Like any organic entity, a system of consciousness manifests itself through the orderly, differentiated development of a certain unifying reality.”
― Kitaro Nishida

“The Europeans are inclined to regard their own present culture as the only highly developed one and the best. They tend to believe that other peoples, if they are to make progress in their development, must become just like themselves. I regard this as a petty conceit. The primordial form of historical culture is, in my view, richer.”
― Kitarō Nishida
