Julius Evola
“Within a nominally Christian world, chivalry upheld without any substantial alterations an Aryan ethics in the following things:
(1) upholding the ideal of the hero rather than the saint, and of the conqueror rather than of the martyr;
(2) regarding faithfulness and honor, rather than caritas and humbleness, as the highest virtues;
(3) regarding cowardice and dishonor, rather than sin, as the worst possible evil;
(4) ignoring or hardly putting into practice the evangelical precepts of not opposing evil and not retaliating against offenses, but rather, methodically punishing unfairness and evil;
(5) excluding from its ranks those who followed the Christian precept ‘Thou Shalt Not Kill’ to the letter; and
(6) refusing to love one’s enemy and instead fighting him and being magnanimous only after defeating him.

...

In reality, chivalry was animated by the impulse toward a ‘traditional’ restoration in the highest sense of the word, with the silent or explicit overcoming of the Christian religious spirit.”
Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World

Samuel Eliot Morison
“The seamen were fagged out.”
Samuel Eliot Morison

John Steinbeck
“So many scholars have spent so much time trying to establish whether Arthur ever existed at all that they have lost track of the single truth that he exists over and over.”
John Steinbeck, The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights

C.S. Lewis
“Monarchy can easily be "debunked", but watch the faces, mark well the accents of the debunkers. These are the men whose taproot in Eden has been cut -- whom no rumor of the polyphony, the dance, can reach – men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honor a king they honor millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead -- even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served -- deny it food and it will gobble poison.

(Article "Equality")”
C.S. Lewis

Victor Hugo
“Architecture is the great book of humanity, the principled expression of man in his different stages of development, either as a force or as an intelligence.”
Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame
