Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.

The True is the whole. But the whole is nothing other than the essence consummating itself through its development. Of the Absolute it must be said that it is essentially a result, that only in the end is it what it truly is; and that precisely in this consists its nature, viz. to be actual, subject, the spontaneous becoming of itself.

The more certain our knowledge the less we know.

Consequently, the sensuous aspect of art is related only to the two theoretical sensesof sight and hearing, while smell, taste, and touch remain excluded.

Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two.

The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
