Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
“Humanity has always conquered the flux of natural time by means of a rhythm between active and passive time-spans. To reconquer his holidays, to establish a new and better time schedule for life, has been the great endeavour of man ever since the days of Noah.”
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
“On the Russian revolutionaries:

To leave your parents, faithful and loyal subjects of the Emperor, to leave your profession, to desist from having children, to lose your fortune, and to give up your civil honor, all for revolutionary conviction, makes for a league of more practical proof than any religious order.”
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
“And the great question for mankind is what is to be loved or hated next, whenever and old love or fear has lost its hold.”
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man

Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
“For such is the noble nature of man, that his heart will never wholly lose itself in one single passion or idol, or, as people call it apologetically, one idea. On it goes from one devotion to the next, not because it is ashamed of its first love, but because it must be on fire perpetually. To fall for Reason, as our grandfathers did, is but one Fall of Man among his many passionate attempts to find the apples of knowledge and eternal life, both in one.
When a nation, or individual, declines the experiences that present themselves to passionate hearts only, they are automatically turned out from the realm of history. The heart of man either falls in love with somebody or something, or it falls ill. It can never go unoccupied. And the great question for mankind Is what is to be loved or hated next, whenever an old love or fear has lost its hold.”
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man

“We are so dull that we rarely realize how much history lies hidden in marriage, and how the one word spoken by the bride makes all the difference between cattle-raising and a nation's good breeding.”
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, Out of Revolution: Autobiography of Western Man
