“Business people – Your business – is your greatest prejudice: it ties you to your locality, to the company you keep, to the inclinations you feel. Diligent in business – but indolent in spirit, content with your inadequacy, and with the cloak of duty hung over this contentment: that is how you live, that is how you want your children to live!”

“What can oppose the decline of the west is not a resurrected culture but the utopia that is silently contained in the image of its decline.”
