― Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

“Vice is a monster of so frightful mien
As to be hated needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
― Alexander Pope

“As Karl Marx once noted: 'Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.' William Jennings Bryan and the Scopes trial was a tragedy. The creationists and intelligent design theorists are a farce.”
― Michael Shermer

“This is not the time to reawaken old oppositions, but rather to seek what lies above and beyond all opposition.”
― Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling
