Fyodor Dostoevsky
“Peacefully they will die, peacefully they will expire in Thy name, and beyond the grave they will find nothing but death. But we shall keep the secret, and for their happiness we shall allure them with the reward of heaven and eternity.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Grand Inquisitor

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

James Burnham

James Burnham, Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism

Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens, Prepared for the Worst: Selected Essays and Minority Reports
