Kritik der praktischen Vernunft: pp 161-2 of the Berlin Academy edition:
"Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and awe, the
oftener and more steadily we reflect upon them: the starry heavens above me and
the moral law within me. I do not merely conjecture them and seek them as
though obscured in darkness or in the transcendent region beyond my horizon: I
see them before me, and I associate them directly with the consciousness of my
own existence." (Beck translation)
