Famous Alexander Dugin Quotes

“So I think that beauty is something that is not only unexplainable but something that doesn't expand the desire to explain. It is something evident, your inspiration stops, you are struck by the beauty. I think that beauty is incompatible with the concept of explanation or ownership. It should be contemplated, valued, and observed as a distance. If you approach too close to beauty , this image disappears. So, I think that beauty is to be observed at a distance; it is something unexplainable which doesn't inspire the desire to possess, it is something that overwhelms you.”

“Virtue and vice are very personal. It is a moral judgement of ourselves, of our behavior and attitude. It's so personal that we could share this only with a spiritual father and through him with God. It's a judgment that we give ourselves. It's an inner aspect, and not public. The confession of a sin is secret. Not because it's shameful (it is), but it should be secret because it concerns the deepest and innermost levels of the soul. It's a dialogue of the soul with itself, making this judgement ( or hesitation of judgement ) open to God.”
