Some people have a zero radius horizon and call it a point of view.

Modern man does not understand how much his "rationalism" (which has destroyed his capacity to respond to numinous symbols and ideas) has put him at the mercy of the psychic "underworld." He has freed himself from "superstition" (or so he believes), but in the process he has lost his spiritual values to a positively dangerous degree. His moral and spiritual tradition has disintegrated, and he is now paying the price for this break-up in worldwide disorientation and dissociation.

- C.G. Jung

Human history is the long, terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.

- C.S. Lewis

Truth has to be repeated constantly, because Error also is being preached all the time, and not just by a few, but by the multitude. In the Press and Encyclopaedias, in Schools and Universities, everywhere Error holds sway, feeling happy and comfortable in the knowledge of having Majority on its side.

- John Wolfgang Goethe

If I wanted to shake this tree with my hands I should be unable to do it. But the wind, which we cannot see, torments it and bends it where it wishes. It is invisible hands that torment and bend us the worst.

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Sometimes the people who think they are the most "awake" are the most psyopable.

- Whitney Webb

Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.

- Robert LeFevre

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

To have to fight the instincts - that is the definition of decadence: as long as life is ascending, happiness equals instinct.

- Friedrich Nietzsche

We need radical thinking, creative ideas, and imagination.

- Mairead Corrigan
