Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Genuine tragedy is a case not of right against wrong but of right against right - two equally justified ethical principles embodied in people of unchangeable will.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
America is therefore the land of the future, where, in the ages that lie before us, the burden of the World's History shall reveal itself.

The sublime in art is the attempt to express the infinite without finding in the realm of phenomena any object which proves itself fitting for this representation.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
