“It is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Mov’d earth and heaven, that which we are, we are:
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
― Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Ulysses

“The reactionary is that fool who possesses the vanity to judge history, and the immorality to come to terms with it.”
― Nicolás Gómez Dávila

“Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from
indifference toward the unique values which created it.”

“Legal freedom of expression has grown alongside the sociological enslavement of thought.”
