The one-eyed multitude do not comprehend that what really counts in human history is decided not below but above. In the realm of Transcendence. Ali’s life, his path, his destiny were laid out in a heavenly pattern. Adapting something Virgil wrote, it could be said that that “Eternity understood Ali in its own way”.

— Julius Evola on Imam Ali (peace be upon him | عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم )

The consummation of the historical process is henceforth inexorable, without our being able to say, for all that, if it will be lingering or lightning-like. Everything indicates that humanity is going downhill, despite its successes or rather because of them.

— E. M. Cioran, Drawn and Quartered (1979)

“Empowering women” is the paramount sin of the modern world. The quintessential mission and primary function of women can be encapsulated in a single word: "Family." Each stride toward involving women in economic, political, and decision-making spheres incurs deleterious repercussions, impacting not only the nation but also the women themselves. The most monumental war in history has been declared since humanity dared to defy its inherent nature.

وقبرٌ بِبَغْدَاد لِنَفْسٍ زَكيَّةٍ
تَضَمَّنها الرَّحمن في الغُرُفاتِ

The “enemy” who resists us and the “infidel” within ourselves must be subdued and put in chains. This enemy is the animalistic yearning and instinct, the disorganized multiplicity of impulses, the limitations imposed on us by a fictitious self, and thus also fear, weakness, and uncertainty; this subduing of the enemy is the only way to achieve inner liberation or the rebirth in a state of a deeper inner unity and “peace” in the esoteric and triumphal sense of the word.

Humanity would sink into eternal darkness, it would fall into a dull and primitive state, were the Jews to win this war. They are the incarnation of that destructive force that in these terrible years has guided the enemy war leadership in a fight against all that we see as noble, beautiful, and worth keeping. For that reason alone the Jews hate us. They despise our culture and learning, which they perceive as towering over their nomadic worldview. They fear our economic and social standards, which leave no room for their parasitic drives.

— Joseph Goebbels (1897–1945)

مالِي وَقَفتُ عَلى القُبورِ مُسَلِّماً
قَبرَ الحَبيبِ فَلَم يَرُدَّ جَوابي
أَحَبيبُ مالَكَ لا تَرُدُّ جَوابَنا
اَنَسيتَ بَعدي خِلَّةَ الأَحبابِ
قالَ الحَبيبُ وَكَيفَ لِي بِجَوابِكُم
وَأَنا رَهينُ جَنادِلٍ وَتُرابِ
أَكَلَ التُرابُ مَحاسِني فَنَسيتُكُم
وَحُجِبتُ عَن أَهلي وَعَن أَترابي
فَعَلَيكُمُ مِنّي السَلامَ تَقَطَّعَت
مِنّي وَمِنكُم خِلَّةَ الأَحبابِ

But it did not stop here. Had I simply understood that life has no meaning, I might have been able to calmly accept it; I might have recognized that such was my lot. But I could not rest content at this. Had I been like a man who lives in a forest from which he knows there is no way out, I might have been able to go on living; but I was like a man lost in the forest who was terrified by the fact that he was lost, like a man who was rushing about, longing to find his way and knowing that every step was leading him into deeper confusion, and yet who could not help rushing about.

— Leo Tolstoy, A Confession (1882)

«The blood of the heroes is closer to God than the ink of the philosophers and the prayers of the faithful».
