She is dressed in golden brown for me

Sheds her leaves like a second skin

There is fire, in your eyes tonight

No brighter sun, no darker moon

“People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.”

— Hermann Hesse

[a0ra]

"You've never lived what you are thinking, and that isn't good. Only the ideas we actually live are of any value." — H. Hesse, Demian

[a0ra]

“Beauty has been stolen from the people and sold back to them under the concept of luxury.”

— Sir Roger Scruton

“Don’t vanish into the vast swamp of mediocrity by believing maturity is gained by abandoning one’s ideals, values, and goals, and ultimately, losing self-esteem. Hold onto that noble vision, don’t betray that fire; give it shape, reality, and purpose.”

— Mike Mentzer

[a0ra]

Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.

Terry Pratchett

[a0ra]

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

- Julius Evola

[a0ra]

"What makes Heroic? — To face simultaneously one’s greatest suffering and one’s highest hope."

- Friedrich Nietzsche

[a0ra]

"Kali Yuga must be mastered in you. The golden age will return to your soul first."

- Migel Serano

[a0ra]

Build yourself, give yourself a form. it can also mean: passing from the status of an individual to that of a person. Everyone is an individual, not everyone is a person; we know the Roman distinction between animus and anima: the person is the individual who has given himself a soul. It would certainly be unjust for all men to have a soul; it is right that some of them, at the end of their self-creation, manage to give themselves one. Only he can give himself a soul who reigns supreme over himself. he who reigns supreme over his inner empire. Honor is then nothing other than fidelity to the norm that one has given oneself, to the image that one has of oneself.

~ Alain de Benoist

"The periods of decadence are characterized by the mediocrity of the leaders. The crowd suffers from not admiring anyone, because the cult of heroes is a necessity of human nature; and also an indispensable condition of mental progress."

- Alexis Carrell

[a0ra]

“Yes, the soldier in his relationship with death, in his personal commitment to an idea, knows very little about philosophers and their values. But in him and his deed, life expresses itself more poignantly and more deeply than any book could ever do.”

Ernst Jünger

[a0ra]

“Yes, the soldier in his relationship with death, in his personal commitment to an idea, knows very little about philosophers and their values. But in him and his deed, life expresses itself more poignantly and more deeply than any book could ever do.”

Jünger

[a0ra]

We cannot ask ourselves whether ‘woman’ is superior or inferior to ‘man’ any more than we can ask ourselves whether water is superior or inferior to fire. There can be no doubt that a woman who is perfectly woman is superior to a man who is imperfectly man, just as a farmer who is faithful to his land and performs his work perfectly is superior to a king who cannot do his own work.

[a0ra]

"The “greater holy war” is a man’s struggle against the enemies he carries within. More exactly, it is the struggle of man’s higher principle against everything that is merely human in him, against his inferior nature and against chaotic impulses and all sorts of material attachments. This is expressly outlined in a text of Aryan warrior wisdom:: “Know Him therefore who is above reason; and let his peace give thee peace. Be a warrior and kill desire, the powerful enemy of the soul.”"

Julius Evola

[a0ra]

“There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself.”

― Hermann Hesse
