"One without a myth is like one uprooted, having no true link either with the past, or with the ancestral life which continues within him, or yet with contemporary human society."

"As in a mirror, he 'looks at himself again and again before performing an action; he looks at himself again and again before saying a word; he looks at himself again and again before harboring a thought.' It can easily be seen that by following such a path a man naturally transforms himself into a kind of living statue made up of awareness, into a figure pervaded by composedness, decorum, and dignity."

~Julius Evola

"God is near

Yet hard to seize.

Where there is danger,

The rescue grows as well.

Eagles live in the darkness,

And the sons of the Alps

Go fearlessly over the abyss

Upon bridges simply built.

Therefore, since the peaks

Of Time are heaped all about,

And dear ones live close by,

Worn down on the most separated mountains—

Then give us innocent waters;

Give us wings, and the truest minds

To voyage over and then again to return."

~Friedrich Hölderlin

"Conscience, Christ, and the gift of faith make evil men uneasy in their sin. They feel that if they could drive Christ from the earth, they would be free from "moral inhibitions." They forget that it is their own nature and conscience which makes them feel that way. Being unable to drive God from the heavens, they would drive his ambassadors from the earth. In a lesser sphere, that is why many men sneer at virtue--because it makes vice uncomfortable."

~Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
