“If pacifist hostility toward war were so strong as to drive pacifists into a war against nonpacifists, in a war against war, that would prove that pacifism truly possesses political energy . . . this appears to be a peculiar way of justifying wars. The war is then considered to constitute the absolute last war of humanity. Such a war is necessarily intense and inhuman because, by transcending the limits of the political framework, it simultaneously degrades the enemy into moral and other categories and is forced to make of him a monster that must not only be defeated but also utterly destroyed. . . the feasibility of such a war is particularly illustrative of the fact that war as a real possibility is still present today.”

“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.”

“Modern man, instead of attempting to raise himself to truth, seeks to drag truth down to his own level.”

“Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.”
