Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Morality without a sense of paradox is mean. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Since philosophy is the exploration of the rational, it is for that very reason the apprehension of the present and the actual, not the erection of a beyond, supposed to exist, God knows where, or rather which exists, and we can perfectly well say where, namely in the error of a one-sided, empty, ratiocination. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Architecture in general is frozen music. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

In the ancients, one sees the accomplished letter of entire poetry: in the moderns, one has the presentiment of the spirit in becoming. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Thinking is, indeed, essentially the negation of that which is before us. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

An artist is he who has his center within himself. He who lacks this must choose a particular leader and mediator outside of himself, not forever, however, but only at first. For man cannot exist without a living center, and if he does not have it within himself, he may seek it only in a human being. Only a human being and his center can stimulate and awaken that of another. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Wit is absolutely sociable spirit or aphoristic genius. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The force of mind is only as great as its expression; its depth only as deep as its power to expand and lose itself. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

What men are among the other formations of the earth, artists are among men. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The following are the universally fundamental laws of literary communication: 1. one must have something to communicate; 2. one must have someone to whom to communicate it; 3. one must really communicate it, not merely express it for oneself alone. Otherwise it would be more to the point to remain silent. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Nothing is more witty and grotesque than ancient mythology and Christianity; that is because they are so mystical. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Education to independence demands that young people should be accustomed early to consult their own sense of propriety and their own reason. To regard study as mere receptivity and memory work is to have a most incomplete view of what instruction means. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The substance, the essence, the Spirit is freedom. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

One can only become a philosopher, but not be one. As one believes he is a philosopher, he stops being one. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

With respect to ingenious subconsciousness, I think, philosophers might well rival poets. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

An artist is he for whom the goal and center of life is to form his mind. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

When we walk the streets at night in safety, it does not strike us that this might be otherwise. This habit of feeling safe has become second nature, and we do not reflect on just how this is due solely to the working of special institutions. Commonplace thinking often has the impression that force holds the state together, but in fact its only bond is the fundamental sense of order which everybody possesses. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

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. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

History as the slaughter-bench — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The most important thing in love is the sense for one another, and the highest thing the faith in one another. Devotion is the expression of that faith, and pleasure can revive and enhance that sense, even if not create it, as is commonly thought. Therefore, sensuality can delude bad persons for a short time into thinking they could love each other. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Bertrand Russell

When I was young, most teachers of philosophy in British and American universities were Hegelians, so that, until I read Hegel, I supposed there must be some truth to his system; I was cured, however, by discovering that everything he said on the philosophy of mathematics was plain nonsense. — Bertrand Russell

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Witty inspirations are the proverbs of the educated. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Mastery is revealed in limitation. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

We at the Bureau have the most exciting and satisfying jobs in the world. In a society that stresses individual achievement - where you pull yourself up by your bootstraps - the Legal Aid Bureau helps those without boots. By providing access to justice to tens of thousands of Marylanders each year, Legal Aid attorneys and support staff bring equity and stability to society. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Just as a child is really a thing that wants to become a man, so is the poem an object of nature that wants to become an object ofart. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The whole history of modern poetry is a continuous commentary on the short text of philosophy: every art should become science, and every science should become art; poetry and philosophy should be united. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Since poetry is infinitely valuable, I do not understand why it should be more valuable than this or that which is also infinitelyvaluable. There are artists who perhaps do not think art to be too great, for this is impossible, and yet they are not free enough to be able to rise above their own best accomplishments. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony
periods when the antithesis is in abeyance. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

To make abstractions hold in reality is to destroy reality. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Tom Holland

Once the world of ideas has been transformed, reality cannot hold out for long. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel — Tom Holland

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The more certain our knowledge the less we know. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The obsession with moderation is the spirit of castrated narrow-mindedness. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The soul is presupposed as a ready-made agent, which displays such features as its acts and utterances, from which we can learn what it is, what sort of faculties and powers it possesses
all without being aware that the act and utterance of what the soul is really invests it with that character in our conception and makes it reach a higher stage of being than it explicitly had before. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The main thing is to know something and to say it. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

When we look at the world rationally, the world looks rationally back. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

A classification is a definition comprising a system of definitions. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Serious occupation is labor that has reference to some want. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The Catholics had been in the position of oppressors, and the Protestants of the oppressed — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

War is progress, peace is stagnation — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

The bud disappears when the blossom breaks through, and we might say that the former is refuted by the latter; in the same way when the fruit comes, the blossom may be explained to be a false form of the plant's existence, for the fruit appears as its true nature in place of the blossom. The ceaseless activity of their own inherent nature makes these stages moments of an organic unity, where they not merely do not contradict one another, but where one is as necessary as the other; and constitutes thereby the life of the whole. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

By Nature man is not what he ought to be; only through a transforming process does he arrive at truth. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Art is the sensuous presentation of ideas. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Philosophy is the true home of irony, which might be defined as logical beauty: for wherever men are philosophizing in spoken or written dialogues, and provided they are not entirely systematic, irony ought to be produced and postulated; even the Stoics regarded urbanity as a virtue. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The German national character is a favorite subject of character experts, probably because the less mature a nation, the more she is an object of criticism and not of history. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Francis Fukuyama

For Hegel, by contrast, liberal society is a reciprocal and equal agreement among citizens to mutually recognize each other — Francis Fukuyama

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

When reason and unreason come into contact, an electrical shock occurs. This is called polemics. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

There is so much poetry, and yet nothing is more rare than a poetic work. This is what the masses make out of poetical sketches, studies, aphorisms, trends, ruins, and raw material. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Ideas are infinite, original, and lively divine thoughts. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

I have the courage to be mistaken. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Women do not have as great a need for poetry because their own essence is poetry. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Since philosophy now criticizes everything it comes across, a critique of philosophy would be nothing less than a just reprisal. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Many works of the ancients have become fragments. Many works of the moderns are fragments at the time of their origin. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Philosophy is the history of philosophy. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

All thinking of the religious man is etymological, a reduction of all concepts to the original intuition, to the characteristic. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Life is writing. The sole purpose of mankind is to engrave the thoughts of divinity onto the tablets of nature. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human, if one only interprets this correctly. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Nothing upsets the philosophical mind more than when he hears that from now on all philosophy is supposed to lie caught in the shackles of one system. Never has he felt greater than when he sees before him the infinitude of knowledge. The entire dignity of his science consists in the fact that it will never be completed. In that moment in which he would believe to have completed his system, he would become unbearable to himself. He would, in that moment, cease to be a creator, and would instead descend to being an instrument of his creation. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Genius is, to be sure, not a matter of arbitrariness, but rather of freedom, just as wit, love, and faith, which once shall become arts and disciplines. We should demand genius from everybody, without, however, expecting it. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

One more word about giving instruction as to what the world ought to be. Philosophy in any case always comes on the scene too late to give it. As the thought of the world, it appears only when actuality is already there cut and dried after its process of formation has been completed ...
When philosophy paints its grey in grey, then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's grey in grey it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Is it not superfluous to write more than one novel if the writer has not become, say, a new man? Obviously, all the novels of an author not infrequently belong together and are to a certain degree only one novel. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Has creation a final purpose at all, and if so why is it not attained immediately, why does perfection not exist from the very beginning? — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

If you want to love you must serve, if you want freedom you must die. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

man's being is essentially his own deed. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

One mentions many artists who are actually art works of nature. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

In England, wit is at least a profession, if not an art. everything becomes professional there, and even the rogues of that islandare pedants. So are the "wits" there too. They introduce into reality absolute freedom whose reflection lends a romantic and piquant air to wit, and thus they live wittily; hence their talent for madness. They die for their principles. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

[T]he vanity of the contents" of individual experience is scrutable as an inessential trapping drawn into a matter by vested interests " ... since it is at the same time the vanity of the self that knows itself to be vain — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

If one writes or reads novels from the point of view of psychology, it is very inconsistent and petty to want to shy away from even the slowest and most detailed analysis of the most unnatural lusts, gruesome tortures, shocking infamy, and disgusting sensual or spiritual impotence. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Beauty is merely the Spiritual making itself known sensuously. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

All the worth which the human being possesses, all spiritual reality, he possesses only through the State ... For Truth is the unity of the universal and subjective will; and the Universal is to be found in the State, in its laws, its universal and rational arrangements. The State is the Divine Idea as it exists on earth. We have in it, therefore, the object of history in a more definite shape than before; that in which Freedom obtains objectivity. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Lacking strength beauty hates the understanding for asking of her what it cannot do but the life of spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself. It is this power, not as something positive, which closes its eyes to the negative as when we say of something that it is nothing or is false, and then having done with it, turn away and pass on to something else; on the contrary, spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and tarrying with it. This tarrying with the negative is the magical power that converts it into being. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

A so-called happy marriage corresponds to love as a correct poem to an improvised song. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Many a witty inspiration is like the surprising reunion of befriended thoughts after a long separation. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The life and vigor of poetry consists of the fact that it steps out of itself, tears out a section of religion, then withdraws into itself to assimilate it. The same is true of philosophy. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

What experience and history teaches us is that people and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

The fear of speculation, the ostensible rush from the theoretical to the practical, brings about the same shallowness in action that it does in knowledge. It is by studying a strictly theoretical philosophy that we become most acquainted with Ideas, and only Ideas provide action with energy and ethical significance. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Only through religion can logic develop into philosophy, only from this source stems that which makes philosophy more than science. And without religion we will have only novels, or the triviality today called belles lettres instead of an eternally rich and infinite poetry. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

To be aware of limitations is already to be beyond them. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

All phenomena are correlated in one absolute and necessary law, from which they can all be deduced. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Krummacher

Unbelief does nothing but darken and destroy. It makes the world a moral desert, where no divine footsteps are heard, where no angels ascend and descend, where no living hand adorns the fields, feeds the birds of heaven, or regulates events. — Friedrich Wilhelm Krummacher

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By 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

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Art and works of art do not make an artist; sense and enthusiasm and instinct do. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By 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

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Poetry and philosophy are, according to how you take them, different spheres, different forms, or factors of religion. Try to really combine both, and you will have nothing but religion. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

There is in every man a certain feeling that he has been what he is from all eternity, and by no means become such in time. — Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

All that is real is reasonable, and all that is reasonable is real. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

The naive which is simultaneously beautiful, poetic, and idealistic, must be both intention and instinct. The essence of intention, in this sense, is freedom. Consciousness is far from intention. There is a certain enamoured contemplation of one's own naturalness or silliness which itself is unspeakably silly. Intention does not necessarily require a profound calculation or plan. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

It strikes everyone in beginning to form an acquaintance with the treasures of Indian literature that a land so rich in intellectual products and those of the profoundest order of thought. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

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. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

It is specially characteristic of the German that the more servile he on the one hand is, the more uncontrolled is he on the other; restraint and want of restraint - originality, is the angel of darkness that buffets us. — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

True love should be, according to its origin, entirely arbitrary and entirely accidental at the same time; it should seem both necessary and free; in keeping with its nature, however, it should be both destiny and virtue and appear as a mystery and a miracle. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Philosophy still moves too much straight ahead, and is not yet cyclical enough. — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Friedrich Wilhelm Quotes By Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Honor is the mysticism of legality — Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
