Alain de Botton
“A good half of the art of living is resilience.”
Alain de Botton

Oswald Spengler
“For the Age has itself become vulgar, and most people have no idea to what extent they are themselves tainted. The bad manners of all parliaments, the general tendency to connive at a rather shady business transaction if it promises to bring in money without work, jazz and Negro dances as the spiritual outlet in all circles of society, women painted like prostitutes, the efforts of writers to win popularity by ridiculing in their novels and plays the correctness of well-bred people, and the bad taste shown even by the nobility and old princely families in throwing off every kind of social restraint and time-honoured custom: all of these go to prove that it is now the vulgar mob that gives the tone.”
Oswald Spengler

Oswald Spengler
“Once upon a time, Freedom and Necessity were identical; but now what is understood by freedom is in fact indiscipline.”
Oswald Spengler

Oswald Spengler
“Socialism is nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.”
Oswald Spengler, The Hour of Decision

Oswald Spengler
“Let a man be either a hero or a saint. In between lies, not wisdom, but banality.”
Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West, Vol 2: Perspectives of World History
