Philosophy of Right: Morality
"In living organisms, the individual [component] exists immediately not as a part, but as an organ in which the universal as such has its present existence. Hence in murder, it is not a piece of flesh as an individual entity which is injured, but the life itself within it."
"An old proverb rightly says, ‘The stone belongs to the devil when it leaves the hand that threw it.’ By acting, I expose myself to misfortune, which accordingly has a right over me and is an existence of my own volition." pg 148 Elements of the Philosophy of Right by Hegel (Ed. A.W. Wood)
