“Ideals that seem unattainable to themselves are for that reason not ideals but mathematical phantoms of a merely mechanical mind. Whoever has a sense for the infinite and knows what he wants to do with it sees here the result of eternally separating and uniting powers, conceives of his ideals at least as being chemical, and utters, when he expresses himself decisively, nothing but contradictions.”
– Friedrich Schlegel, Athenaeum Fragments
