We are now moving towards complete collectivism or socialism, a system under which everybody is enslaved to everybody.

To be the kind of writer you want to be, you must first be the kind of thinker you want to be.

He wanted nothing, for the time being, except to understand .... Without advice, assistance or plan, he began reading an incongruous assortment of books; he would find some passage which he could not understand in one book, and he would get another on that subject .... There was no order in his reading; but there was order in what remained of it in his mind.

The more you learn, the more you know that you know nothing.

Every aspect of Western culture needs a new code of ethics - a rational ethics - as a precondition of rebirth.

Indiscriminate tolerance and indiscriminate condemnation are not two opposites: they are two variants of the same evasion. To declare that “everybody is white” or “everybody is black” or “everybody is neither white nor black, but gray,” is not a moral judgment, but an escape from the responsibility of moral judgment.

You are damned, and we wish to share your damnation.
