“Literary revolution and revolutionary literature did not create a beautiful new world but instead divested literature of its basic nature, promoted violence, and, by resorting to linguistic violence, made a battlefield of this domain of spiritual freedom.” WorldMadeBeautifulSpiritualLiteratureViolenceRevolutionRevolutionaryNew WorldDomainBattlefieldsSpiritual Freedom Author:Gao Xingjian
“Unlike the rationalism of the French Revolution, true liberalism has no quarrel with religion, and I can only deplore the militant and essentially illiberal antireligionism which animated so much of nineteenth-century Continental liberalism. ... What distinguishes the liberal from the conservative here is that, however profound his own spiritual beliefs, he will never regard himself as entitled to impose them on others and that for him the spiritual and the temporal are different sphere which ought not to be confused.” I CanDifferentSpiritualReligionBeliefCenturyRevolutionOughtRespectRegardProfoundConservativeConfusedLiberalismSpheresEntitledQuarrelsAnimatedNineteenth CenturyMilitantRationalismFrench RevolutionContinentalSpiritual Beliefs Author:Friedrich August von Hayek
“Something is amiss, deeply wrong, something is deeply wrong with the way we're living our lives collectively, with the way we are creating our collective experience on earth. And we are coming to the conclusion that the problem after all is not political, that the problem after all is not economic, that the problem after all cannot be solved with bombs or missiles or bullets, but that the problem in fact is spiritual, that the problem with the world today is as it has always been, a problem of our most basic beliefs.

“Ultimate freedom. An extremist. An aesthetic voyager whose home is the road. Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause “the West is the best.” And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure, the climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously conclude the spiritual revolution.

“The religion of art, like the religion of politics, was born from the ruins of Christianity. Art inherited from the old religion the power of consecrating things and endowing them with a sort of eternity; museums are our temples, and the objects displayed in them are beyond history. Politics--or more precisely, Revolution--co-opted the other function of religion: changing human beings and society. Art was an asceticism, a spiritual heroism; Revolution was the construction of a universal church.” HumansArtSpiritualPoliticsBornChurchHuman BeingsChristianityObjectsRevolutionUniversalEternityFunctionRuinsTemplesMuseumsConstructionHeroismAsceticism Book:1904-1912 Source: 1904-1912
“It was with the Industrial Revolution, as society plunged ever more eagerly into the conquest of material riches and bent all its energies to the accumulation of goods, that material poverty became a major problem. Obviously, this meant abandonment or downgrading of spiritual values, virtue, etc. To share or not to share in the increase of the collective wealth-this was the Number One question. It was the desire to acquire wealth that prompted the poor to start fighting.” ProblemSpiritualDesireValuesFightingEnergyWealthPoorNumbersPovertyVirtueShareMaterialsRevolutionMajorsIncreaseRichesAcquireEtcCollectivesGoodsConsumerismBentConquestAbandonmentAccumulationOverconsumptionIndustrial RevolutionMajor ProblemsSpiritual ValuesDowngrading Author:Jacques Ellul
