"Philosophy in any case always comes on the scene too late . . When philosophy paints its gray in gray, then has a shape of life grown old. By philosophy's gray in gray it cannot be rejuvenated but only understood. The owl of Minerva spreads its wings only with the falling of the dusk. ” —G.W.F. Hegel, Philosophy of Right (1820), "Preface"
