“ If virtue succeeds in actualizing the in-itself of the course of the world, it will not enjoy the fruits of its success, since it will have eradicated all individuality, including its own. It must be an individual in its doing , but once it succeeds there will be no self-conscious individual to do or enjoy anything. The conflict is a battle of ideas ”
 Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, The Phenomenology of Spirit (1807). copy citation
