Die Eule der Minerva beginnt erst mit der einbrechenden Dämmerung ihren Flug. - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

Uneducated people delight in argument and fault-finding, for it is easy to find fault, but difficult to recognize the good and its inner necessity.

Architecture is treated as crystallisation; sculpture, as the organic modelling of the material in its sensuous and spatial totality; painting, as the coloured surface and line; while in music, space, as such, passes into the point of time possessed of content within itself, until finally the external medium is in poetry depressed into complete insignificance.

To make abstractions hold in reality is to destroy reality.
