Only the person who no longer believes in a happy ending, only he who has consciously renounced it, is able to live. A happy century does not exist; but there are moments of happiness, and there is freedom in the moment.

"Myth is not prehistory: it is timeless reality, that repeats itself in history. It is a good sign that our century is finding meaning again in the myths.” - Ernst Jünger, ‘The Forest Passage’ (1951) [p. 39]

Une civilisation peut-être aussi supérieure qu'elle veut - si le nerf viril se détend, ce n'est plus qu'un colosse aux pieds d'argile. Plus imposant l'édifice, plus effroyable sera la chute.**
Ernst Jünger, La guerre comme expérience intérieure.
**A civilisation perhaps as superior as it strives to be - if the virile nerve relaxes, it is nothing more than a colossus with feet of clay. The more imposing the edifice, the more terrible will be the fall.

« Certes, j'ai un faible pour les systèmes d'ordre, pour l'Ordre des Jésuites, pour l'armée prussienne, pour la Cour de Louis XIV… Une telle rigueur m'en impose toujours ».

"The entire world is becoming torrentially conservative, out of self-protection, to protect its heritage, from a duty to capture once again the elements that have been shaken together, each in a different way, us ourselves - in the most difficult of all: the re-overthrow of the overthrow, the negated and negating negation, the revolution against the revolution".
- Rudolf Borchardt.

The heroic and cultic world presents an entirely different relation to pain than does the world of sensitivity. While in the latter, as we saw, it is a matter of marginalizing pain and sheltering life from it, in the former the point is to integrate pain and organize life in such a way that one is always armed against it. Here, too, pain plays a significant, but no doubt opposite, role. This is because life strives incessantly to stay in contact with pain. Indeed, discipline means nothing other than this, whether it is of the priestly ascetic kind directed toward abnegation or of the warlike heroic kind directed toward hardening oneself like steel. In both cases, it is a matter of maintaining complete control over life, so that at any hour of the day it can serve a higher calling. The secret of modern sensitivity is that it corresponds to a world in which the body is itself the highest value. This observation explains why modern sensitivity relates to pain as a power to be avoided at all cost, because here pain confronts the body not as an outpost but as the main force and essential core of life.

Myth is not prehistory; it is timeless reality, which repeats itself in history. We may consider our own century’s rediscovery of meaning in myth as a favorable sign. - Ernst Jünger

"Noi nazionalisti non crediamo nelle idee generali. Non crediamo nella moralità generale. Non crediamo nell'umanità, in un essere collettivo dotato di coscienza centrale e diritti uniformi. Al contrario, crediamo che la verità, i diritti e la moralità siano tutti condizionati all'estremo dal tempo, dallo spazio e dal sangue. Crediamo nel valore dell'individuo."
