Famous quotes containing the words friedrich and/or peter:

    In the case of all other sciences, arts, skills, and crafts, everyone is convinced that a complex and laborious programme of learning and practice is necessary for competence. Yet when it comes to philosophy, there seems to be a currently prevailing prejudice to the effect that, although not everyone who has eyes and fingers, and is given leather and last, is at once in a position to make shoes, everyone nevertheless immediately understands how to philosophize.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    A girl? Hey, that’s better in a way. A boy needs more from a father.
