"To be independent of public opinion is the first formal condition of achieving anything great."
"Truth is found neither in the thesis nor the antithesis, but in an emergent synthesis which reconciles the two."
"Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion."
"Genuine tragedies in the world are not conflicts between right and wrong. They are conflicts between two rights."
"Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of God and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for Spirit to know Itself, to find Itself, be for Itself, and finally unite itself to Itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to Itself...As existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'I'; as developed to its totality, it is free Spirit; as feeling, it is Love; and as enjoyment, it is Blessedness."
