Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings.
 - Almansor: Eine Tragödie by Heinrich Heine (1823)

"Philosophy, as the thought of the world, does not appear until reality has completed its formative process, and made itself ready. History thus corroborates the teaching of the conception that only in the maturity of reality does the ideal appear as counterpart to the real, apprehends the real world in its substance, and shapes it into an intellectual kingdom. When philosophy paints its grey in grey, one form of life has become old, and by means of grey it cannot be rejuvenated, but only known. The owl of Minerva takes its flight only when the shades of night are gathering."

— G.W.F. Hegel, Philosophy of Right (1820)

Nonviolence is a weapon of the strong.
Everyone holds a piece of the truth.
