Émile Zola, The Masterpiece

The writers of Newspapers, Pamphlets, Poems, Books, these are the working effective Church of a modern country. Thomas Carlyle, quoted and approved by Maurice Cowling

A thinker is a person whose part it is to symbolize time according to his vision and understanding. He has no choice; he thinks as he has to think.
Oswald Spengler, Decline of the West


Yet we slink about like whipped curs... our self-abasement principally takes the form of subservience to the United States... we are under no necessity to participate in the American nightmare of a Soviet monster barely held at bay in all quarters of the globe by an inconceivable nuclear armament and by political intervention everywhere from Poland to Cambodia. It is the Americans who need us in order to act out their crazy scenario... We simply do not need to go chasing up and down after the vagaries of the next ignoramus to become President of the United States.
Enoch Powell
