There is nothing queerer today than the importance of unimportant things. Except, of course, the unimportance of important things.

The weakness in civilization is best expressed by saying that it cares more for science than for truth. It prides itself on its 'methods' more than its results; it is satisfied with precision, discipline, good communications, rather than with the sense of reality.

“The good man, though a slave, is free; the wicked, though he reigns, is a slave, and not the slave of a single man, but-what is far worse-the slave of as many masters as he has vices.” St. Augustine

To say a nation which disregards frontiers and annexes neighbors is suffering from an excess of Nationalism is intrinsically nonsensical. We might as well say a man who runs away with his neighbor’s wife is suffering from an excess of reverence for the institution of marriage.

Abolish religion if you like. Throw everything on secular government if you like. But do not be surprised if a machinery that was never meant to do anything but secure external decency and order fails to secure internal honesty and peace.

American "conservatives" would personally dress up in drag and read books to children if they thought it would raise the GDP.

I mean I guess since “better” is determined by a thing conforming more to its true nature, in the proper sense moving closer to nihilistic trans furry activism is moving towards a “better” atheism
