Flaws

Nature
"Everything is vain and tortures the spirit instead of calming and satisfying it."
Spirit

Being
"Nature is a book, a letter, a fairy tale (in the philosophical sense) or whatever you want to call it."

"Our reason arises, at the very least, from this twofold lesson of sensuous revelations and human testimonies."
Reason
"Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves."
Word
"Being, belief and reason are pure relations, which cannot be dealt with absolutely, and are not things but pure scholastic concepts, signs for understanding, not for worshipping, aids to awaken our attention, not to fetter it."
