7 maj 1945 • Dagen innan Tysklands kapitulation skriver Knut Hamsun en nekrolog som hyllar Adolf Hitler.
När vi diskuterar traditioner är det inte godtyckliga regler och konventioner vi talar om. Vi diskuterar svar som har upptäckts till bestående frågor.
Roger Scruton
Enstaka dåd av tyranni kan skyllas den för tillfället rådande opinionen, men ett ständigt ökande förtryck, som inletts vid en urskiljbar tidpunkt och inte går att stoppa, hur ministrar än byts ut, visar alltför tydligt en medveten systematisk plan att förslava oss.
Thomas Jeffersson
Till ariskt blod, det renaste och äldsta, Till svensk jag vigdes av en vänlig norna.
Viktor Rydberg
För att ta reda på vem som styr, ta då först reda på vilka du inte får kritisera.
Okänd
Det är bättre att vara en soldats änka, än en ynkryggs hustru.
Shakespeare
Bankväsendet är farligare än stående arméer.
Thomas Jefferson
Skulle det bli ett omskärelseförbud i Sverige så är det i mina ögon värre än ett terrorattentat.
Petra Kahn Nord, judisk lobbyist
Svenskar är vita!
Christoffer Dulny
On a long enough time line, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.

Kryptering fungerar.
Edward Snowden
It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we are free to do anything.

Dying societies accumulate laws like dying men accumulate remedies.
Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Unbridled altruism is a huge vice of mine. I simply have to do good. I am a sensible dwarf, however, and know that I’m unable to do everyone good. Were I to attempt to be good to everyone, to the entire world and to all the creatures living in it, it would be a drop of fresh water in the salt sea. In other words, a wasted effort. Thus, I decided to do specific good; good which would not go to waste. I’m good to myself and my immediate circle.
Zoltan Chivay, Baptism of Fire
To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday’s science fiction is today’s fact. The Industrial Revolution has radically altered man’s environment and way of life, and it is only to be expected that as technology is increasingly applied to the human body and mind, man himself will be altered as radically as his environment and way of life have been.
Theodore Kaczynski
Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived.
John F Kennedy
Because I found modern life absolutely unacceptable, I grew increasingly hopeless until, at the age of 24, I arrived at a kind of crisis: I felt so miserable that I didn’t care whether I lived or died. But when I reached that point, a sudden change took place: I realized that if I didn’t care whether I lived or died, then I didn’t need to fear the consequences of anything I might do. Therefore I could do anything I wanted. I was free! That was the great turning-point in my life because it was then that I acquired courage, which has remained with me ever since. It was at that time, too, that I became certain that I would soon go to live in the wild, no matter what the consequences.
Ted Kaczynski
I samma mån som den politiska och ekonomiska friheten inskränkes, tycks som en kompensation därför den sexuella friheten bli större. En diktator gör klokt i att uppmuntra en sådan frihet […]. I förbindelse med friheten till dagdrömmeri under inflytande av narkotika, biograf och radio, hjälper den sexuella friheten till att försona hans undersåtar med den träldom som är deras öde.
Aldous Huxley
This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
George Bernard Shaw
Tillväxt för tillväxtens skull är cancercellens ideologi.
Edward Abbey
Part of the intimacy with nature that you acquire, is the sharpening of your senses. Not that your hearing or eyesight become more acute, but you notice things more. In city life you tend to be turned inward, in a way. Your environment is crowded with irrelevant sights and sounds, and you get conditioned to block most of them out of your consciousness. In the woods you get so that your awareness is turned outward, toward your environment, hence you are much more conscious of what goes on around you. For example, you’ll notice inconspicuous things on the ground, such as edible plants or animal tracks. If a human being has passed through and has left even just a small part of a footprint, you’ll probably notice it. […] If you hear a sound that you can’t identify, it immediately catches your attention, even if it’s so faint that it’s barely audible. To me this alertness, or openness of one’s senses, is one of the greatest luxuries of living close to nature. You can’t understand this unless you’ve experienced it yourself.
Ted Kaczynski
DEKADENS. Djävulsdyrkare har i den amerikanska staden Detroit nyligen rest en staty över Satan efter att man har fått tillstånd av de lokala myndigheterna.
