"Few are those who adjust their lives and affairs to a plan; the others, like objects floating in rivers, do not move of their own accord, but are carried along." Seneca.

The Hyperborean Archetype, the multiple incarnation of the Avatar, also in turn projected in Mussolini the glories and fire of its legend. Miguel Serrano

"Because if today the Church reaches an agreement with fascist Italy that was impossible with liberal democratic ideas, then this proves beyond doubt that fascist ideology is closer to Christianity than to the Jewish-liberal or even the atheistic-Marxist ideology with which the so-called Catholic Centre Party is today so closely linked, to the detriment of Christianity and our German people. If today the Pope comes to an agreement with fascism, then at least he believes that fascism, and therefore nationalism, is acceptable and compatible with the Catholic faith . " —Adolf Hitler, in his speech on February 18, 1929 in Munich

"Everything that is booed is not necessarily beautiful or new. But everything that is immediately applauded is certainly not above average intelligence and is therefore mediocre, banal, vomited up, or overdigested." —F. T. Marinetti

Do not see in every right-wing situation the triumph of Fascism (...) do not confuse the yeasts of the fascist future with the regurgitations of the feudal, bourgeois, liberal, autocratic, progressive, reactionary, oil-producing, land-owning past. - Berto Ricci, December 15, 1938

"Perhaps the prudish and timid people will be frightened of us, we don't care. We'll be barbarians if necessary, but we will fulfill our destiny in this hour." —Ramiro Ledesma Ramos

“The Spanish liberals dismiss fascism as anti-Catholic. It is Fascism, which in Italy, after ninety years of liberal freemasonry, re-established the crucifix and religious teaching in schools". -José Antonio Madrid, April 2, 1933.

"We have our hands free. Let us begin without delay to cleanse, to restore, to renew, to expand Italy, freeing it from the burden of the past and of the foreigner." —F. T. Marinetti, Futuristic Democracy

"Rome had become too rich, and money prevailed over the sword, when the fighting spirit of heroic Rome yielded to the bourgeois spirit of rich and pleasure-loving Rome." Georges Valois, The National Revolution (1924)

"Freedom begins where freedom of the press ends. 'Freedom of thought' means that no one would test their outdated ideas in a state of original freedom." —Ernst Jünger

"Fascism's greatness is not in that it is rational, but that it is enthusiastic.  It does not hail a program but an exceptional personality.  To die for a program is ludicrous.  To die for an exceptional man, that is greatness." - Ernst Junger

«Our modern worship of vain ideals is absurd. What does the condition of the plebs matter? We only need to keep it as unobtrusive as possible. What is more important is to perpetuate those beautiful things that have true value because they involve real sense impressions rather than vapid theories. 'Equality' is a joke, but a great abbey or cathedral, covered with moss, is a touching reality. If it behooves us to safeguard and preserve the conditions that produce great abbeys, palaces, picturesque walled cities, vivid skylines of steeples and domes, luxurious tapestries, fascinating books, paintings and statues, colossal organs, noble music, and dramatic feats on battlefields—this is all there is to life—if we take them away, we have nothing for a man of taste or spirit to want to live for. If we take them away, our poets have nothing to sing; our dreamers have nothing to dream about. The blood of a million men is well shed to produce a glorious legend that thrills posterity, and it matters not at all why it was shed." —H.P. Lovecraft, Letter to James F. Morton, February 10, 1923

"A socialism freed from the democratic and cosmopolitan element can fit nationalism like a very well-made glove on a beautiful hand." - Charles Maurras, L'Action française, July 18, 1933

“At this point we leave Africa, not to mention it again. For it is no historical part of the World; it has no movement or development to exhibit… What we properly understand by Africa, is the Unhistorical, Undeveloped Spirit, still involved in the conditions of mere nature, and which had to be presented here only as on the threshold of the World’s History.” Hegel the German Idealist, 1830. Note: Hegel was a key figure in Fascist philosophical Idealism.

"Most of the concepts which might have attracted me in fascism I seem already to have found, in a more digestible form, in the work of Charles Maurras." T. S. Eliot, The Literature of Fascism

"For instance I was born in 1892 and lived for my early years in ‘the Shire’ in a pre-mechanical age. Or more important, I am a Christian (which can be deduced from my stories), and in fact a Roman Catholic." - Tolkien Letter 213

"What I used to respect was not really aristocracy, but a set of personal qualities that aristocracy developed better than any other system... a set of qualities, however, whose merit lay solely in a psychology of noncalculating and noncompetitive disinterest, truthfulness, courage, and generosity fostered by good breeding, minimal economic stress, and an assumed position, AND AS ATTAINABLE THROUGH SOCIALISM AS THROUGH ARISTOCRACY." —H.P. Lovecraft

"I ask not for riches, nor hope, nor love, nor a friend who understands me; all I ask is heaven above me and a road beneath me." Robert Louis Stevenson.

What I am about to say does not concern the ordinary man of our day. On the contrary, I have in mind the man who finds himself involved in today's world, even at its problematic and paroxysmal points; yet he does not belong inwardly to such a world, nor will he give in to it. He feels himself, in essence, as belonging to a different race from that of the overwhelming majority of his contemporaries. Julius Evola “Ride the Tiger” MUSSOLINI ROMANO (1927 - 2008) Tiger and girl. Oil on canvas.
