If you take steps based on fantasies and illusions, you shall meet realities and remember the had I knows in sorrow.

— Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

— Jack Caldwell

The anarch is oriented to facts, not ideas. He fights alone, as a free man, and would never dream of sacrificing himself to having one inadequacy supplant another and a new regime triumph over the old one. In this sense, he is closer to the philistine; the baker whose chief concern is to bake good bread; the peasant, who works his plow while armies march across his fields.

— Ernst Jünger

— Carl R White
