Cornelio Fabro

"Freedom, observes the philosopher, is potential launched into infinity."

"We are always exposed to the permanent risk of our contingency: the contingency of the environment, of society, our own intimate contingency. We ourselves oscillate, we are in oscillation with respect to ourselves."

"A philosophy that consumes itself in thought consumes itself, annihilates itself. Philosophy must open the windows of freedom, the doors of freedom; it must establish freedom. A philosophy that does not establish freedom is a Procrustean bed, a guillotine."
