• The why is what makes journalism an adult game. The why is what makes policy coherent and useful. The why is what transforms bureaucrats and foot soldiers and political leaders into viable instruments of rational and affirmative change. The why is everything and without it, the very suggestion of human progress becomes a cosmic joke.

• Much of human progress has been in defiance of religion or of the apparent natural order. The defiance of religious and secular authority has led to democracy, human rights, and the protection of the environment. Humanists make no apologies for this. Humanists twist no biblical doctrine to justify such actions.

• We have embarked globally on a path of unsustainable development. Our lifestyles, the way we produce goods and services, are all part of a system that is completely unsustainable. I see solutions to climate change leading to a much larger philosophical shift in the way human society develops. We need a new matrix to define what human progress is.

• During all the first part of the Middle Ages, no other people made as important a contribution to human progress as did the Arabs, if we take this term to mean all those whose mother-tongue was Arabic, and not merely those living in the Arabian peninsula. For centuries, Arabic was the language of learning, culture and intellectual progress for the whole of the civilized world with the exception of the Far East. From the IXth to the XIIth century there were more philosophical, medical, historical, religiuos, astronomical and geographical works written in Arabic than in any other human tongue.

• El capitalismo moderno es tan subversivo como el marxismo. La visión materialista de la vida en la que se basan ambos sistemas es idéntica. Mientras sólo hablemos de clases económicas, beneficios, salarios y producción, y mientras creamos que el verdadero progreso humano viene determinado por un determinado sistema de distribución de la riqueza y los bienes, entonces no estaremos ni siquiera cerca de lo esencial.

  Julius Evola

• Recordad que [el pensamiento científico] es la guía de la acción; que la verdad a la que llega no es la que idealmente podemos contemplar sin error, sino la que podemos actuar sin temor; y no podréis dejar de ver que el pensamiento científico no es un acompañamiento o una condición del progreso humano, sino el progreso humano mismo.

• Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.
