The people are that part of the state that does not know what it wants.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelFreedom is the fundamental character of the will, as weight is of matter... That which is free is the will. Will without freedom is an empty word.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelQuite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... The analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.
