“The spirit is never at rest but always engaged in ever progressive motion, in giving itself a new form.”
― Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Phenomenology of Mind, Vol 1

“From the standpoint of a higher economic form of society, private ownership of the globe by single individuals will appear quite as absurd as private ownership of one man by another. Even a whole society, a nation, or even all simultaneously existing societies taken together, are not the owners of the globe. They are only its possessors, its usufructuaries, and, like boni patres familias, they must hand it down to succeeding generations in an improved condition.”
― Karl Marx

“How comes the world to be here at all instead of the nonentity which might be imagined in its place? ... from nothing to being there is no logical bridge.”
― William James

“The function of the imagination is not to make strange things settled, so much as to make settled things strange.”
― G.K. Chesterton
