"Fascism was an explosion against intolerable conditions, against remediable wrongs which the old world failed to remedy. It was a movement to secure national renaissance by people who felt themselves threatened with decline into decadence and death and were determined to live, and live greatly."
- Excerpt from Sir Mosley's My Life
"The tyrant must steal sleep. He must vary the locations and times. He never sleeps in his palaces. He moves from secret bed to secret bed. Sleep and a fixed routine are among the few luxuries denied him. It is too dangerous to be predictable, and whenever he shuts his eyes, the nation drifts."
- Mark Bowden, "Tales of the Tyrant"
"You cannot use a democratic and collaborative style when crisis is rampant and disorder reigns... You need an autocrat to bring things under control."
- Kenneth Tewel, former Principal, on Principal Joe Clark
"So that it won’t be so is why we go back to the highest undertaking of our duty as Portuguese, which is nothing but the promotion between us of a restoration of intelligence. From one side and the other of the trench where Portugal cuts itself from top to bottom, swarm, in an awkward unconsciousness, the same puppets, the same fakes, whose geneology Eça de Queiróz has outlined in his work full of the utmost demolishing intent. Portugal dies, because, like a Berber tribe, it has let the roots that chain it to the eternal soul of history go dry. Thus, it is up to us - a minority, if we are to be judged - to rebuild, before anything else, the moral physionomy of nationality, by drinking in the heritage of past generations the sacred stimulae that will open before us, one after the other, the mysterious doors of the future."
- António Sardinha in "A Prol do Comum (On Behalf of the Commoner)", 1934
"And then, suddenly, a broad silvery ribbon - the Volga. We knew this was the goal, the ultimate goal of the war, maybe... to get to the Volga. And beyond the Volga, to the East, we saw the vast, deep forests stretching into the horizon... shrouded in mystery."- Wehrmacht officer, quoted in the series, War of the Century
"Britain's victories are barren; they leave her poor, and they leave her people hungry; they leave her bereft of the markets and the wealth that she possessed six years ago. But above all, they leave her with an immensely greater problem than she had then. We are nearing the end of one phase of Europe's history, but the next will be no happier. It will be grimmer, harder and perhaps bloodier. And now I ask you earnestly, can Britain survive?"
- Broadcast from 30 April 1945; William 'Lord Haw Haw' Joyce's last
"Fascism became, like Mazzini's Giovane Italia, the faith of all Italians who disdained the past and longed for renewal."
"The Politician's goal is to build a fortune, ours is to build our homeland flowering and strong. For her we will work and we will build. For her we will make each Romanian a hero, ready to fight, ready to sacrifice, ready to die."
- Corneliu Codreanu, 'The Nest Leader's Manual'
"Superior to the individuals of a sad passing hour, the Fatherland is not, in any way the pretext of our transitory passions, neither do we have the power to transform it after our whims and according to our ideologies. The stranger is not, thus, solely he which was born from another community to another language and others customs. Also a stranger is he who, insurrectioning against the rule which socially conformed him, realises in himself the tremendous word of Comte, by condemning the Revolution as being a "rebellion of the self against the species". Now, when that stranger, which is the stranger of the interior, denacionalised by cosmopolitan ideals, masonised by lowly interests of the sect, takes over the government of a nation to imprint in it a goal which is adverse to its fundamental sentiments, is there not legitimately, even from a minority, the right to revolt?"
- António Sardinha in "A Prol do Comum (On Behalf of the Commoner)", 1934

"Every plant unto thee proclaimeth the laws everlasting,Every flower speaks louder and louder to thee"
- J.W. von Goethe, "Metamorphosis of Plants"
"Fascism, since that is the word that is used, fascism presents, wherever it manifests itself, characteristics which are varied to the extent that countries and national temperaments vary. It is essentially a defensive reaction of the organism, a manifestation of the desire to live, of the desire not to die, which at certain times seizes a whole people. So each people reacts in its own way, according to its conception of life."
- Francisco Franco, 1938 interview with Henri Massis
"I started with an impulse of my heart, with that instinct of defense which even the least of the worms has, not with the instinct of personal self-preservation, but of defense of the race to which I belong. This is why I have always had the feeling that the whole race rests on our shoulders, the living, and those who died for the Fatherland, and our entire future, and that the race struggles and speaks through us, that the hostile flock, however huge, in relation to this historical entity, is only a handful of human detritus which we will disperse and defeat... The individual in the framework and in the service of his race, the race in the framework and in the service of God and of the laws of the divinity: those who will understand these things will win even though they are alone."
- Corneliu Codreanu
