"What I think is salvageable and enduring in Hegel is his structure of thought. He treated political theory as a historical and philosophical enterprise. Hegel is the person who supremely tried to reconcile historicity and normativity. I think he tried to incorporate historical contingency into political theory without dismantling the possibility of philosophical normativity. I consider this to be an enduring and valuable part of Hegel’s project"

- It is not a good story. There are too many meanings and too many lessons in it. Some of those lessons are opposite. There is not a story to take into your head. It proves nothing

- I like it, said Pablo. I like it because it hasn't any meaning you can see, and still it does seem to mean something, I can't tell what

(John Steinbeck, Tortilla Flat)
