“Every beginning is in time, and every boundary of the extended is in space. Space and time, however, are only in the world of sense. Hence appearances are in the world only conditionally, the world itself is neither conditioned nor bounded in an unconditioned way” (527)

“If, therefore we say: The senses represent objects to us as they appear, but the understanding as they are, then the latter is not going to be taken in a transcendental but in a merely empirical way, signifying, namely, how they must be represented as objects of experience […]” (364)

“the categories [i.e., of analytic judgement] do not afford us cognition of things by means of intuition except through their possible application to empirical intuition, i.e., they serve only for the possibility of empirical cognition. This, however, is called experience” (255). An elegant argument that escapes the difficulties Locke and Hume faced in deriving understanding from experience.

“all our intuition is nothing but the representation of appearance” (185)
