Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The sole work and deed of universal freedom is therefore death, a death too which has no inner significance or filling, for what is negated is the empty point of the absolutely free self. It is thus the coldest and meanest of all deaths, with no more significance than cutting off a head of cabbage or swallowing a mouthful of water.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
In history, we are concerned with what has been and what is in philosophy, however, we are concerned not with what belongs exclusively to the past or to the future, but with that which is, both now and eternally in short, with reason.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
History in general is therefore the development of Spirit in Time, as Nature is the development of the Idea is Space.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The real is the rational and the rational is the real.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The nature of finite things is to have the seed of their passing-away as their essential being: the hour of their birth is the hour of their death.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Not curiosity, not vanity, not the consideration of expediency, not duty and conscientiousness, but an unquenchable, unhappy thirst that brooks no compromise leads us to truth.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Propounding peace and love without practical or institutional engagement is delusion, not virtue.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Truth in philosophy means that concept and external reality correspond.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The proofs of the existence of God are to such an extent fallen into discredit that they pass for something antiquated, belonging to days gone by.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
