"Unexpected and magnificent beyond all possible calculation, Ernst Jünger appears in this respect, for me, as the heir to Léon Bloy."

"The children are in good spirits; they have got hold of a bottle of vermouth, are holding secret meetings and sipping it. Clearly they find this disruption of domestic order delightful. I've heard them say in recent weeks: "If the bombers came back tomorrow it would be great." Then they wouldn't have to go to school."

"Schmitt spread a rumour that I had written On the Marble Cliffs in order to obtain a second Pour le Mérite medal. Of course, this was a completely unfounded insinuation, but it revealed his resentment. I think this novel of mine irritated him."

"Bloy's "Dieu se retire" is more accurate than Nietzsche's apodictic "God is dead". Bloy adds: "It is doubtless that if God suddenly withdrew his blessing the simple stone, both granite and pebble, would disintegrate and crumble to dust – where would modern society be then?""

The actual quote is "riding his motorbike", but I thought it funny that he wrote this already in the 1930s.

Recently reached 10,000 followers on twitter (the heart of nihilism). Will try to release something special over the summer months, and hopefully get back to physical books soon as we have been focusing on various online projects.

"I spend my time chasing after landscapes that I know from books, and as a general rule, they've been so thoroughly spoiled by tourists that I no longer recognize my dream."

"With increasing depth, conservatives and revolutionaries become very similar, because they necessarily approach the same ground."

"As it turns out, I'm the only one who, in the vortex of metamorphoses, has remained true to himself and his friends; who has understood loyalty. I have not allowed myself to be taken in. And so the dogmatists, who have failed to subjugate me, have named me: characterless."

"I owe methodological inspiration above all to Léon Bloy, whose writings are frequently alluded to, and to whom I cannot fail to refer the young Germans, although I anticipate the strongest protests. I had to overcome the same reluctance – but today one has to take the truth where one can find it."

"Anyone who knows that 2 x 2 = 5 knows too much. Machiavelli already knew too much, but with Hobbes this became life-threatening, because he knew that any knowledge is too much. Nevertheless, he hoped - as a former educator of princes, he could not help but hope - that he could teach those in power, until he finally realised: doceo, sed frustra. (I teach, but in vain)"
