Fernando Pessoa
“Eternal tourists of ourselves, there is no landscape but what we are. We possess nothing, for we don’t even possess ourselves. We have nothing because we are nothing. What hand will I reach out, and to what universe? The universe isn’t mine: it’s me.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Antal Szerb
“Nincsen olyan része Budapestnek, ami a számomra ne volna az ifjúság. Ha egyszer örökre el kellene hagynom a Várost, aznap megöregednék, mint a hesiterbachi szerzetes.”
Antal Szerb, Budapesti kalauz Marslakók számára

Carl Schmitt
“The concept of humanity is an especially useful ideological instrument of imperialist expansion, and in its ethical-humanitarian form it is a specific vehicle of economic imperialism. Here one is reminded of a somewhat modified expression of Proudhon’s: whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat. To confiscate the word humanity, to invoke and monopolize such a term probably has certain incalculable effects, such as denying the enemy the quality of being human and declaring him to be an outlaw of humanity; and a war can thereby be driven to the most extreme inhumanity.”
Carl Schmitt

Nick Land
“Matter signals to its lost voyagers, telling them that their quest is vain, and that their homeland already lies in ashes behind them.”
Nick Land, The Thirst for Annihilation: Georges Bataille and Virulent Nihilism

Oswald Spengler
“Long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.”
Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West
