" "That man should think of God as nothingness must at first sight seem astonishing, must appear to us a most peculiar idea. But, considered more closely, this determination means that God is absolutely nothing determined. He is the Undetermined; no determinateness of any kind pertains to God; He is the Infinite. This is equivalent to saying that God is the negation of all particularity.

Additional quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
El yo es por ello la existencia de la universalidad totalmente abstracta, lo abstractamente libre. Por eso, el yo es el pensar en cuanto sujeto y siendo así que yo estoy igualmente en todas mis sensaciones, representaciones y estados [subjetivos], resulta que el pensamiento está presente en todas partes y atraviesa como categoría todas estas determinaciones.
