We have learned that history is something that takes no notice whatever of our expectations.
Oswald SpenglerPhilosophy, the love of Wisdom, is at the very bottom defence against the incomprehensible.
Oswald SpenglerPacifism will remain an ideal, war a fact, and if the White race decides to wage it no longer, the dark ones will, and will become the masters of the world.
Oswald SpenglerIt is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.
