Umberto Eco
“It would be so much easier for us, if there appeared on the world scene somebody saying "I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Black Shirts to parade again in the Italian squares". Life is not that simple. Ur-Fascism can come back under the most innocent of disguises. Our duty is to uncover it and point our finger at any of its new instances - every day, in every part of the world.”
Umberto Eco, Il fascismo eterno

Émile Durkheim
“Things perceived as real become real in their consequences.”
Émile Durkheim, La Sociología Clásica: Durhkheim y Weber

Mike     Duncan
“But as he stood watching Carthage burn, Scipio reflected on the fate of this once great power. Overcome with emotion, he cried. His friend and mentor Polybius approached and asked why Scipio was crying.

"A glorious moment, Polybiius; but I have a dread foreboding that some day the same doom will be pronounced on my own country." Scipio then quoted a line from Homer: "A day will come when sacred Troy shall perish, And Priam and his people shall be slain."

Scipio knew that no power endures indefinitely, that all empires must fall.”
Mike Duncan, The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic

François de La Rochefoucauld
“276.—Absence extinguishes small passions and increases great ones, as the wind will blow out a candle, and blow in a fire.”
François de La Rochefoucauld, Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims

Euripides
“I think that Fortune watcheth o'er our lives, surer than we. But well said: he who strives will find his gods strive for him equally.”
Euripides, Iphigeneia in Tauris
