― David Lane



“The world says: 'You have needs -- satisfy them. You have as much right as the rich and the mighty. Don't hesitate to satisfy your needs; indeed, expand your needs and demand more.' This is the worldly doctrine of today. And they believe that this is freedom. The result for the rich is isolation and suicide, for the poor, envy and murder.”

― Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov



"He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing."

― Epicurus



"True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not."

― Lucius Annaeus Seneca



"I do what is mine to do; the rest does not disturb me."

― Marcus Aurelius

― A. K. Chesterton

― Maximus the Confessor



"There are eras in which you can only move forward by going in the opposite direction."

― Mircea Eliade

"Ethnology, Biology, History, all proclaim Equality to be a myth. Even the great epics of antiquity are all glorifications of inequality: inequality of mind, inequality of birth, of courage or condition. Can equality of body, equality of mind, equality of origin, equality before the law, or any kind of 'equality' be demonstrated by any one fact?"

― Ragnar Redbeard, Might is Right



"Those who say that all cultures are equal never explain why the results of those cultures are so grossly unequal."

― Friedrich Nietzsche



"A writer who says that there are no truths, or that all truth is 'merely relative,' is asking you not to believe him. So don't."

― Roger Scruton, Modern Philosophy: An Introduction and Survey



"Beauty matters. It is not just a subjective thing but a universal need of human beings. If we ignore this need we find ourselves in a spiritual desert."

― Roger Scruton



"The average age for men in the bronze age was 18, and in the roman era, 22. Heaven must have been beautiful then. Today it must look dreadful. When a man reaches 40, he has no chance to die beautifully. No matter how hard he tries, he will die of decay. He must compel himself to live."

― Yukio Mishima



"A real man wants two things: Danger and Play... Man should be educated for war, and woman for the recreation of the warrior."

― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra



"The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards, and its fighting by fools."

― Thucydides



"Tyranny in democratic republics ignores the body and goes straight for the soul. The master no longer says: You will think as I do or die. He says: You are free not to think as I do. You may keep your life, your property, and everything else. But from this day forth you shall be as a stranger among us. You will retain your civic privileges, but they will be of no use to you. For if you seek the votes of your fellow citizens, they will withhold them, and if you seek only their esteem, they will feign to refuse even that. You will remain among men, but you will forfeit your rights to humanity. When you approach your fellow creatures, they will shun you as one who is impure. And even those who believe in your innocence will abandon you, lest they, too, be shunned in turn. Go in peace, I will not take your life, but the life I leave you with is worse than death."

― Alexis de Tocqueville



"The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy, but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitudes."

― Aldous Huxley



"In Hell there is Democracy, in Heaven there is a Kingdom."

― Saint John of Kronstadt



"Where men are forbidden to honor a king, they honor millionaires, athletes or film stars instead; even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison."

― C.S. Lewis



"Sexual freedom, sexual liberation. A modern delusion. We are hierarchical animals. Sweep one hierarchy away, and another will take its place, perhaps less palatable than the first. There are hierarchies in nature and alternate hierarchies in society. In nature, brute force is often the law. In society, there are protections for the weak. Society is our frail barrier against nature. When the prestige of state and religion is low, men are free, but they find freedom intolerable and seek new ways to enslave themselves, through drugs or depression. Nature is a hard taskmaster. It is the hammer and the anvil, crushing individuality. Perfect freedom would be to die by earth, air, water, and fire."

― Camille Paglia



"When the ordinary thought of a highly cultivated people begins to regard 'having children' as a question of pros and cons, the great turning point has come."

― Oswald Spengler



"We want to live with our kind. Those who are unwilling to accept it will be bitterly disappointed, and those who try to force us to change will perish."

― Kai Murros



"If a man isn't willing to take some risk for his opinions, either his opinions are no good or he's no good."

― Ezra Pound



"He who dares not offend, cannot be honest."
