"Reason is just as cunning as she is……" — Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
"Reason is just as cunning as she is powerful. Her cunning consists principally in her mediating activity, which, by causing objects to act and re-act on each other in accordance with their own nature, in this way, without any direct interference in the process, carries out reason's intentions."
