Wilhelm

Famous quotes containing the word wilhelm:

    Nothing great has been and nothing great can be accomplished without passion. It is only a dead, too often, indeed, a hypocritical moralizing which inveighs against the form of passion as such.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    The heart-throb for the welfare of humanity therefore passes into the ravings of an insane self-conceit, into the fury of consciousness to preserve itself from destruction; and it does this by expelling from itself the perversion which it is itself, and by striving to look on it and express it as something else.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
