Reading Hegel

Famous quotes containing the words reading and/or hegel:

    After reading Howitt’s account of the Australian gold-diggings one evening,... I asked myself why I might not be washing some gold daily, though it were only the finest particles,—why I might not sink a shaft down to the gold within me, and work that mine.... At any rate, I might pursue some path, however solitary and narrow and crooked, in which I could walk with love and reverence.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The true theater of history is therefore the temperate zone.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
