Julius Evola
“Being and stability are regarded by our contemporaries as akin to death; they cannot live unless they act, fret, or distract themselves with this or that. Their spirit (provided we can still talk about a spirit in their case) feeds only on sensations and on dynamism, thus becoming the vehicle for the incarnation of darker forces.”
Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World

Yukio Mishima
“The special quality of hell is to see everything clearly down to the last detail.”
Yukio Mishima, The Temple of the Golden Pavilion

Yukio Mishima
“We live in an age in which there is no heroic death.”
Yukio Mishima

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Ludwig Wittgenstein, Culture and Value

Jack Kerouac

By Shiki. You see the wet footprints like a vision in your mind and yet in those few words you also see all the rain that's been falling that day and almost smell the wet pine needles."

(The Dharma Bums, Chap. 8)”
Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums
