Feuerbach, Ludwig

"Man is what he eats."

"The task of the modern era was the realization and humanization of God."

"Religion is the dream of the human mind."

"Nature alone is eternal, true, and divine."

"Man's earliest history is also the history of religion."

"Consciousness in the human being is the consciousness of infinity."

"The divine being is actually nothing other than the human being, or rather, human nature raised and extended; it is the human being freed from the limits of individuality."

"Philosophy must take the place of religion."

"What yesterday was still religion is today already science."

"Man first unconsciously and involuntarily creates religion, and then, after he has created it, makes it the basis of his conscious activity and of his moral and intellectual life."

"The only atheism is that which denies human nature, not that which denies divine nature."

"Materialism has never been better represented than by its greatest opponent."

"The distinction between the divine nature and the human is abolished."

"Love is the proof of the finite for the infinite."

"God was not first, and man second; on the contrary, man was first, and God second."

"The new philosophy has the advantage of being founded on real facts."

"Eating is a moral act."

"The basis of the species is love."

"Where love reigns, there is no will to power."

"Religion is neither more nor less than a human creation."

"The human being is for himself the measure of all things."

"Being is self-evident; only non-being is problematic."

"Thinking is the highest form of human activity."

"What man says of God, he is actually saying of himself."

"The essence of Christianity is the essence of human feeling."

"Man should not raise his eyes to heaven or sink them in the dust, but rather direct them to earth and to his fellowman."

"The true dialectic is not a monologue of solitary thought; it is a dialogue between I and Thou."

"Hope is the principle of life."

"Nature is not something external to man; it is he himself."

"To have an object is the condition of all knowledge."
