“Gli osservatori fedeli della natura, per quanto pensino in maniera diversa riguardo altre questioni, concorderanno tuttavia che tutto ciò che si manifesta, tutto ciò che si presenta come fenomeno deve rinviare a una scissione originaria, capace di ricomposizione, o a un'unità originaria capace di scindersi e deve quindi presentarsi in questo modo. Scindere ciò che è unito e unire ciò che è scisso è la vita della natura. È l'eterna sistole e diastole, l'eterna synkrisis e diakrisis, l'inspirare e l'espirare del mondo in cui viviamo, agiamo e siamo.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The partisan wants to change the law, the criminal break it; the anarch wants neither. He is not for or against the law. While not acknowledging the law, he does try to recognize it like the laws of nature, and he adjusts accordingly.”
― Ernst Jünger, Eumeswil

“…evils are not caused by God; rather, that they are a part of the nature of matter and of mankind; that the period of mortal life is the same from beginning to end, and that because things happen in cycles, what is happening now — evils that is — happened before and will happen again.”
― Celsus, On the True Doctrine: A Discourse Against the Christians

“First, however, I must deal with the matter of Jesus, the so-called savior, who not long ago taught new doctrines and was thought to be a son of God. This savior, I shall attempt to show, deceived many and caused them to accept a form of belief harmful to the well-being of mankind. Taking its root in the lower classes, the religion continues to spread among the vulgar: nay, one can even say it spreads because of its vulgarity and the illiteracy of its adherents. And while there are a few moderate, reasonable, and intelligent people who interpret its beliefs allegorically, yet it thrives in its purer form among the ignorant.”
