“I have never said that human society ought to be aristocratic, but a great deal more than that. What I have said, and still believe with ever-increasing conviction, is that human society is always, whether it will or no, aristocratic by its very essence, to the extreme that it is a society in the measure that it is aristocratic, and ceases to be such when it ceases to be aristocratic. Of course I am speaking now of society and not of the State.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Compare that to a fruit shop adorned with pleasant, lush colors that smell like pomegranate. Compare apples, oranges, cherries, peaches, grapes and melons, and the vivid colors of various vegetables to the butcher shop, the hanging heart and intestines, the severed corpses, the split bellies, the broken legs that hang, and drop blood dripping from it.”
The Benefits of Vegetarianism • Sadegh Hedayat“Life is everything. Life is God. Everything changes and moves and that movement is God. And while there is life there is joy in consciousness of the divine. To love life is to love God.”
War and Peace • Leo Tolstoy“Patriotism: Your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.”
A Journal of Democracy • George Bernard Shaw“ The challenge now is to develop human history as a science. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)
