Peter Robert Edwin Viereck (August 5, 1916 – May 13, 2006), was an American poet and political thinker, as well as a professor of history at Mount Holyoke College for five decades.

Viereck was born in New York, the son of George Sylvester Viereck. He received his B.A. summa cum laude in history in 1937 from Harvard University. He then specialized in European history, receiving his M.A. in 1939 and his Ph.D. in 1942 in history, again from Harvard.

Quotes by Peter Viereck (?)

“What keeps earth air breathable? Not oxygen alone. The earth is a freer place to breathe in, every time you love without calculating a return -- every time you make your drudgeries and routines still more inefficient by stopping to experience the shock of beauty wherever it unpredictably flickers.”
― Peter Viereck, Unadjusted Man in the Age of Overadjustment

tags: air, art, beauty, conservatism, freedom, inefficiency, love, profit, work

“Reality is that which, when you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.”
― Peter Viereck
