Edmund Husserl

“The world is not a mere sum of things.”

“To the things themselves!”

“Consciousness is consciousness of something.”

“To begin with, we must put out of action all the convictions we have been carrying along with us, even our scientific convictions.”

“Experience is the source of knowledge.”

“All perception is a gamble.”

“Philosophy as a science, a universal science, should be grounded in a universal self-evidence.”

“The life of the spirit is not a bare succession of events, but a unity of meaning.”

“The 'I' is not a thing, a substance, or a part of the world.”

“The goal is not to explain the world, but to see it.”

“Time is not a container in which events happen, but the form of our inner sense.”

“Pure phenomenology is the science of pure consciousness.”
