Humboldt quote...

Reason cannot desire for man any other condition than that in which each individual not only enjoys the most absolute freedom of developing himself by his own energies, in his perfect individuality, but in which external nature itself is left unfashioned by any human agency, but only receives the impress given to it by each individual by himself and of his own free will, accoring to the measure of his wants and instincts, and restricted only by the limits of his powers and his rights.
