Toga Quote by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
““Vjecni zivot Bozji mora sebe naci, postati sebe svjestan, uskladiti se sa sobom. U tom uspinjanju dolazi do otudjenja, razjedinjavanja, ali u prirodi je duha, ideje, da sebe otudjuje kako bi se ponovno nasla. To kretanje je upravo ono sto sloboda jest; jer, gledajuci stvar izvana, kazemo da je slobodan onaj covjek koji ne ovisi o nekome drugom, koji nije potlacen, nije vezan uz nekoga. Vracajuci se samome sebi, duh postize slobodu - to opce kretanje je niz oblikovanja duha. Taj niz ne treba sagledavati pravocrtno, nego kao krug koji se vraca u sebe...””
