Julius Evola on Perpetuating the Principle of Struggle

"Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don’t accept what they call ‘the reality of life’ and act in such a way that you won’t be accepted by that kind of ‘life’, never abandon the principle of struggle." 

- Julius Evola

A Remark from Evola on Codreanu's Life

"Indeed, it is the very force, and even the very tragedy, of things, which sees to it that the narrative of Codreanu has a particular suggestive power, and we think any fascist should become aware, through it, of the tragic and painful vicissitudes of a struggle which, on the Romanian soil, has repeated the struggle of our own anti-democratic and anti-Jewish revolutions..." 

- Julius Evola, 'The Tragedy of the Iron Guard'

Remark from Hitler to Bormann on the US-German War

"This war against America is a tragedy... It is illogical and devoid of any foundation of reality...

- Adolf Hitler, to Martin Bormann, 1941; quote in Toland's 'Adolf Hitler'

Hitler had not wanted a war with the US.
