• In a man like Friedrich von Schlegel the courage to be as an individual self produced complete neglect of participation, but it also produced, in reaction to the emptiness of this self-affirmation, the desire to return to a collective.

The courage to be as oneself broke down, and one turned to an institutional embodiment of the courage to be as a part.
