A Handbook for Right-Wing Youth Quotes

“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.”
