Nicolás Gómez Dávila
“The pure reactionary is not a dreamer of abolished pasts, but a hunter of sacred shades on the eternal hills... The reactionary does not aspire to turn back, but rather to change direction. The past that he admires is not a goal but an exemplification of his dreams.”
Nicolás Gómez Dávila

“Love of God is not a thing which we produce in ourselves by excessive brooding or by self-hypnotism or by any other method. It is a permanent flame, slowly burning in the caverns of all our hearts. […] The basis of all religions is this love of God. For if this love of God were not vital to us, all that the great prophets have been trying to preach would have been unreal and futile. If it were not a real experience which in some sense is shared by us all, an experience which ennobles us and raises us far above the selfish pettinesses of life, no prophet and no religious deed would be able to appeal to our higher natures and establish the claims of religion.”
Surendranath Dasgupta, Hindu Mysticism

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Paying attention is a form of reciprocity with the living world, receiving the gifts with open eyes and open heart.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants

Mencius Moldbug
“Cthulhu may swim slowly. But he only swims left. Isn’t that interesting?”
Mencius Moldbug, A Gentle Introduction to Unqualified Reservations

Roy Bhaskar
“It is not that there are the starry heavens above and the moral law within, as Kant would have it; rather, the true basis of your virtuous existence is the fact that the starry heavens are within you, and you are within them.”
Roy Bhaskar, The Philosophy of MetaReality: Creativity, Love and Freedom (Classical Texts in Critical Realism
