By this we are all his disciples and his successors; by this he has laid the eternal foundation-stone of true religion; and if religion is essential to humanity, he has by this deserved the Divine rank the world has accorded him.”
— Ch. 5.
“We aspire not to equality but to domination. Countries inhabited by foreign races must become again countries of serfs, farm laborers, and factory workers. The goal is not to suppress inequities, but, rather, to amplify them and to make of them a matter of course.”

“La charme n'a pas à se justifier; son triomphe est la preuve de sa légitimité.”
— "Emma Kosilis", p. 9.
“No place in the world has had a comparable role to that of the nameless mountain or valley where mankind first attained self-consciousness. Let us be proud … of the old patriarchs who, at the foot of Imaiis, laid the foundations of what we are and of what we shall become.”
