Quote

“By virtue of this participation, subjective liberty and conceit, [in other words individuals and individualism] with their general opinion, can show themselves palpably efficacious and enjoy the satisfaction of feeling themselves to count for something.” (Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, commenting that purpose of legislatures is to satisfy those state subjects who might accidently demonstrate a degree of wisdom.)
