“If they weren't so dangerous and destructive, one could smile and pat the Modern Liberal on the head and tell him how cute he is and go on about the business of being an adult. But he is dangerous and destructive, with the True Believer's very purpose being the total destruction of everything that God and science-most obviously Western Civilization-has ever created. ...The Modern Liberal will invariably and, in fact, inevitably side with evil over good, wrong over right and the behaviors that lead to failure over those that lead to success.” IfsFactsPurposeEvilSidesModernDangerousGoes OnCivilizationBehaviorAdultsDestructionWesternBelieverCuteDestructiveWestern CivilizationTrue BelieverGod And Science Author:Evan Sayet
“The Western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. Thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. It is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.” WorldNeedsTryingPhilosophyFactsRealityExistenceTheoryApproachWesternIntellectCirclesAbstractDividedSquaresEvidentPropositionsDoubtedOutside World Author:Bruce Lee

“I attacked those Western playwrights who use their influence and affluence to preach to the world the nihilistic doctrine that life is pointless and irrationally destructive, and that there is nothing we can do about it. Until everyone is fed, clothed, housed and taught, until human beings have equal leisure to contemplate the overwhelming fact of mortality, we should not (I argued) indulge in the luxury of "privileged despair."” WorldShouldHumansFactsUseLife IsCan DoHuman BeingsInfluenceTaughtEqualDespairWesternDoctrineLuxuryDestructiveFedsMortalityOverwhelmingLeisureContemplatingPrivilegedIndulgePlaywrightPointlessIndulge InAffluence Author:Kenneth Tynan

“it is not men that most women worry about when they rise to the defense of the status quo. Their apparent endorsement of male supremacy is, rather, a pathetic striving for self-respect, self-justification, and self-pardon.
