“First, however, I must deal with the matter of Jesus, the so-called savior, who not long ago taught new doctrines and was thought to be a son of God. This savior, I shall attempt to show, deceived many and caused them to accept a form of belief harmful to the well-being of mankind. Taking its root in the lower classes, the religion continues to spread among the vulgar: nay, one can even say it spreads because of its vulgarity and the illiteracy of its adherents. And while there are a few moderate, reasonable, and intelligent people who interpret its beliefs allegorically, yet it thrives in its purer form among the ignorant.”
― Celsus, On the True Doctrine: A Discourse Against the Christians

“Aragorn threw back his cloak. The elven-sheath glittered as he grasped it, and the bright blade of Andúril shone like a sudden flame as he swept it out. 'Elendil!' he cried. 'I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil's son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again! Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers

“Gli osservatori fedeli della natura, per quanto pensino in maniera diversa riguardo altre questioni, concorderanno tuttavia che tutto ciò che si manifesta, tutto ciò che si presenta come fenomeno deve rinviare a una scissione originaria, capace di ricomposizione, o a un'unità originaria capace di scindersi e deve quindi presentarsi in questo modo. Scindere ciò che è unito e unire ciò che è scisso è la vita della natura. È l'eterna sistole e diastole, l'eterna synkrisis e diakrisis, l'inspirare e l'espirare del mondo in cui viviamo, agiamo e siamo.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The partisan wants to change the law, the criminal break it; the anarch wants neither. He is not for or against the law. While not acknowledging the law, he does try to recognize it like the laws of nature, and he adjusts accordingly.”
― Ernst Jünger, Eumeswil
