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)

    All cultural change reduces itself to a difference of categories. All revolutions, whether in the sciences or world history, occur merely because spirit has changed its categories in order to understand and examine what belongs to it, in order to possess and grasp itself in a truer, deeper, more intimate and unified manner.
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions of the human mind.
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
