"[A]n der Wirklichkeit der Geschichte, scheitert jede Ideologie."-Oswald Spengler, The Hour of Decision: Germany and World-Historical Evolution
"Such is the trend of Nihilism. It occurs to no one to educate the masses to the level of true culture - that would be too much trouble, and possibly certain postulates for it are absent. On the contrary, the structure of society is to be levelled down to the standard of the populace. General equality is to reign, everything is to be equally vulgar. The same way of getting money and the same pleasures to spend it on: panem et circenses - no more is wanted, no more would be understood. Superiority, manners, taste, and every description of inward rank are crimes. Ethical, religious, national ideas, marriage for the sake of children, the family, State authority: all these are old-fashioned and reactionary."-Oswald Spengler, The Hour of Decision: Germany and World-Historical Evolution
