When Philosophy with its abstractions paints grey in grey, the freshness and life of youth has gone, the reconciliation is not a reconciliation in the actual, but in the ideal world.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelThe spirit is never at rest, but always engaged in progressive motion, giving itself new form.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich HegelThe heart-throb for the welfare of humanity therefore passes into the ravings of an insane self-conceit, into the fury of consciousness to preserve itself from destruction; and it does this by expelling from itself the perversion which it is itself, and by striving to look on it and express it as something else.
