A Handbook for Right-Wing Youth Quotes

“Let us repeat this: inner action must precede all other action.”
― Julius Evola, A Handbook for Right-Wing Youth

“With respect to modern civilisation and society, it may indeed be said that nothing possesses a more revolutionary character than Tradition, which — in proper and Hegelian terms  — constitutes the ‘negation of a negation’: for the latter is what, through ‘progress’, has desecrated everything and subverted every normal order, leading us to the state we find ourselves in today.”
― Julius Evola, A Handbook for Right-Wing Youth

“Against psychoanalysis we should oppose the ideal of an ego which does not abdicate, and which intends to remain conscious, autonomous, and sovereign in the face of the nocturnal and subterranean part of his soul and the demonic character of sexuality. This ego does not feel either ‘repressed’ or psychotically torn apart, but achieves an equilibrium of all his faculties ordered in accordance with a higher significance of living and acting.”

“Courage, loyalty, lack of deviousness, an aversion to falsehood, an incapacity to betray, and superiority vis-à-vis any selfish pettiness or lowly interest may be counted among those values which, in a way, transcend ‘good’ and ‘evil’, as they are situated on an ontological rather than a ‘moral’ level: precisely because they bestow or strengthen ‘being’, in contrast to the condition represented by a feeble, elusive, and shapeless nature. No ‘imperative’ applies here. The individual’s natural disposition is what counts. To use a simile, nature presents substances which are both fully crystallised as well as those which are imperfect and incomplete crystals, mixed with crumbly gangue. Certainly, we will not call the former ‘good’ and the latter ‘bad’ in a moral sense. It is a matter of different degrees of ‘reality’. The same holds true for human beings.”

“Marxism did not arise because of the existence of a real social question, but the social question arises — in countless cases — only because Marxism exists, in other words artificially, or in terms that are almost always unsolvable, because of agitators, who are notorious for ‘raising class consciousness’.”

“Concessions made today mean condemning ourselves to being completely overwhelmed tomorrow. We therefore insist on intransigence of the idea, and a readiness to advance with pure forces, when the right moment arrives.”
