Notable Quotable #31
These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they most certainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.
- Theodore J. Kaczynski

"Art, as we have known it, stands on the threshold of the transcendental. It points beyond this world of accidental and disconnected things to another realm, in which human life is endowed with an emotional logic that makes suffering noble and love worthwhile. Nobody who is alert to beauty, therefore, is without the concept of redemption—of a final transcendence of mortal disorder into a ‘kingdom of ends’. In an age of declining faith art bears enduring witness to the spiritual hunger and immortal longings of our species. Hence aesthetic education matters more today than at any previous period in history."
- Roger Scruton
“All rational action is in the first place individual action. Only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. Only the individual acts.”
- Ludwig von Mises
“Democracy is not a fact. It is an idea. This idea inspires laws. And these laws and their institutions reveal themselves to be more and more disastrous, destructive and ruinous, more hostile to the natural tendencies of manners, the spontaneous interplay of interests, and the development of progress. Why? Because the democratic idea is false, as it is in disagreement with nature. Because the democratic idea is bad, in that it constantly subjects the best to the worst, the superior to the inferior.”
- Charles Maurras
If anything is sacred, the human body is sacred.
- Walt Whitman
“Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.”
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"More people would learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them.”
- Harold J. Smith
“Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it.”
- Voltaire
“Time is denial's mortal enemy and is always victorious against it.”
- Chris Dietze
