Reflection on Humanism

The modern humanist is the most vicious sort of misanthrope. He exalts the debased nature of man while at the same time suppresses the greatest capacities man can aspire to.

Reflection on Niceness

Do not confuse niceness with goodness. No man can be called saintly because of a pleasant natural temperament.

Reflection on Democracy

Democracy is the sweetest yet most insidious form of tyranny. Man easily inclines to vice and the support of an ordered mob lends respectability to his worst impulses.
