Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The real is the rational and the rational is the real.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
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
Image
In the Soul is the awaking of Consciousness: Consciousness sets itself up as Reason, awaking at one bound to the sense of its rationality: and this Reason by its activity emancipates itself to objectivity and the consciousness of its intelligent unity.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Image
Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two.

An individual piece only has meaning when it is seen as part of the whole.
