Timothy Snyder
“Violence is not confidence, and terror is not mastery.”
Timothy Snyder, Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin

Carl Schmitt
“All significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts not only because of their historical development - in which they were transferred from theology to the theory of the state, whereby, for example, the omnipotent god became the omnipotent lawgiver - but also because of their systematic structure, the recognition of which is necessary for a sociological consideration of these concepts. The exception in jurisprudence is analogous to the miracle in theology. Only by being aware of this analogy can we appreciate the manner in which the philosophical ideas of the state developed in the last centuries.”
Carl Schmitt, Political Theology: Four Chapters on the Concept of Sovereignty

Michael   Lewis
“A Home without Equity Is Just a Rental with Debt,”
Michael Lewis, The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine

Theodore Dalrymple
“No one seems to have noticed that a loss of a sense of shame means a loss of privacy; a loss of privacy means a loss of intimacy; and a loss of intimacy means a loss of depth. There is, in fact, no better way to produce shallow and superficial people than to let them live their lives entirely in the open, without concealment of anything.”
Theodore Dalrymple, Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses

Theodore Dalrymple
“I've heard a hundred different variations of instances of unadulterated female victimhood, yet the silence of the feminists is deafening. Where two pieties--feminism and multi-culturalism--come into conflict, the only way of preserving both is an indecent silence.”
Theodore Dalrymple, Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses
