"Unexpected and magnificent beyond all possible calculation, Ernst Jünger appears in this respect, for me, as the heir to Léon Bloy." ~ Carl Schmitt

"The children are in good spirits; they have got hold of a bottle of vermouth, are holding secret meetings and sipping it. Clearly they find this disruption of domestic order delightful. I've heard them say in recent weeks: "If the bombers came back tomorrow it would be great." Then they wouldn't have to go to school." ~ Ernst Jünger

"Schmitt spread a rumour that I had written On the Marble Cliffs in order to obtain a second Pour le Mérite medal. Of course, this was a completely unfounded insinuation, but it revealed his resentment. I think this novel of mine irritated him." ~ Ernst Jünger

"Bloy's "Dieu se retire" is more accurate than Nietzsche's apodictic "God is dead". Bloy adds: "It is doubtless that if God suddenly withdrew his blessing the simple stone, both granite and pebble, would disintegrate and crumble to dust – where would modern society be then?"" ~ Ernst Jünger

The actual quote is "riding his motorbike", but I thought it funny that he wrote this already in the 1930s.

"One of the paradoxes of our time is the unemployed man riding in a limo to the welfare office." ~ Ernst Jünger

Recently reached 10,000 followers on twitter (the heart of nihilism). Will try to release something special over the summer months, and hopefully get back to physical books soon as we have been focusing on various online projects.

"I spend my time chasing after landscapes that I know from books, and as a general rule, they've been so thoroughly spoiled by tourists that I no longer recognize my dream." ~ Ernst Jünger

"With increasing depth, conservatives and revolutionaries become very similar, because they necessarily approach the same ground." https://juengertranslationproject.substack.com/p/maxima-minima-ernst-junger-2f7

Had to close chat because of the spam, if you have a question or would like to discuss anything please contact me on substack or twitter. I try my best to answer everyone.

Someone send the spam solution please or I will have to close chat.

"I prefer drawing a map to playing the role of a signpost." ~ Ernst Jünger

"As it turns out I'm the only one who, in the vortex of metamorphoses, has remained true to himself and his friends; who has understood loyalty. I have not allowed myself to be taken in. And so the dogmatists, who have failed to subjugate me, have named me: characterless."

"We have to get away from the concept of the nation as it was developed by the French Revolution." ~ Ernst Jünger

"I owe methodological inspiration above all to Léon Bloy, whose writings are frequently alluded to, and to whom I cannot fail to refer the young Germans, although I anticipate the strongest protests. I had to overcome the same reluctance – but today one has to take the truth where one can find it." ~ Ernst Jünger

"We have to get away from the concept of the nation as it was developed by the French Revolution." ~ Ernst Jünger

"Suffocate on the deception of the world civil war ideology; does no man hear my voice?" ~ Carl Schmitt
