Whoever tries to imagine perfection simply reveals his own emptiness.”

“It is significant that the socialist mentality is usually also an atheistic mentality, where atheism is understood not so much as the disbelief in God as the hatred of God˜an attitude as precarious logically as it has been destructive in practice.

Since the socialist sets out to abolish failure, traditional religion is worse than _de trop_: it is an impediment to perfection.”
