"The criterion of “progress” between two cultures or two eras consists of a greater capacity to kill."

"The word “modern” no longer has an automatic prestige except among fools."

"Clarity of text is the sole incontrovertible sign of the maturity of an idea."

"To tolerate does not mean to forget that what we tolerate does not deserve anything more."

"The left claims that the guilty party in a conflict is not the one who covets another’s goods but the one who defends his own."

"Hierarchies are celestial. In hell all are equal."

"Modern man is a prisoner who thinks he is free because he refrains from touching the walls of his dungeon."

"The modern world demands that we approve what it should not even dare ask us to tolerate."
