"Need and labour … form on their own account a monstrous system of community… ; a life of the dead body, that moves itself within itself, one which ebbs and flows in its motion blindly, like the elements, and which requires strict dominance and taming like a wild beast."--First Philosophy of Spirit is a text by Hegel

Original German:

"Das Bedürfnis und die Arbeit [...] bildet so für sich in einem großen Volk ein ungeheures System von Gemeinschaftlichkeit [...] ein sich in sich bewegendes Leben des Toten, das in seiner Bewegung blind und elementarisch sich hin und her bewegt, und als ein wildes Tier einer beständigen strengen Beherrschung und Bezähmung bedarf."
