Count Friedrich

Famous quotes containing the words count and/or friedrich:

    I wish to say that, in so far as I can, I hope to promote the enactment of further legislation of this character.
    There’s nothing else one can say about me—I’m superfluous, in a word. A supernumerary—that’s all. Nature evidently didn’t count on my appearance, and consequently treated me as an unexpected, uninvited guest.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    Meanwhile, if the fear of falling into error sets up a mistrust of Science, which in the absence of such scruples gets on with the work itself, and actually cognizes something, it is hard to see why we should not turn round and mistrust this very mistrust.... What calls itself fear of error reveals itself rather as fear of the truth.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
