Text Quotes
For the anarch, little is changed when he strips off a uniform that he wore partly as fool’s motley, partly as camouflage. It covers his spiritual freedom, which he will objectivate during such transitions. This distinguishes him from the anarchist, who, objectively unfree, starts raging until he is thrust into a more rigorous straitjacket (Ernst Junger Quotes)
Seen politically, systems follow one another, each consuming the previous one. They live on ever-bequeathed and ever-disappointed hope, which never entirely fades. Its spark is all that survives, as it eats its way along the blasting fuse. For this spark, history is merely an occasion, never a goal (Ernst Junger Quotes)
Liberalism is to freedom as anarchism is to anarchy (Ernst Junger Quotes)
The anarch wages his own wars, even when marching in rank and file (Ernst Junger Quotes)
A work of art wastes away and becomes lustreless in surroundings where it has a price but not a value. It radiates only when surrounded by love. It is bound to wilt in a world where the rich have no time and the cultivated no money. But it never harmonizes with borrowed greatness (Ernst Junger Quotes)
It has always been my ideal in war to eliminate all feelings of hatred and to treat my enemy as an enemy only in battle and to honour him as a man according to his courage (Ernst Junger Quotes)
We had set out in a rain of flowers to seek the death of heroes. The war was our dream of greatness, power and glory. It was a man’s work, a duel on the fields whose flowers would be stained with blood. There is no lovelier death in the world... Anything rather than stay at home, anything to make one with the rest (Ernst Junger Quotes)
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 Junger Quotes)
The partisan wants to change the law, the criminal break it; the anarch wants neither. He is not for or against the law. While not acknowledging the law, he does try to recognize it like the laws of nature, and he adjusts accordingly (Ernst Junger Quotes)
Today only the person who no longer believes in a happy ending, only he who has consciously renounced it, is able to live. A happy century does not exist; but there are moments of happiness, and there is freedom in the moment (Ernst Junger Quotes)
Unfortunately robots capable of manufacturing robots do not exist. That would be the philosopher's stone, the squaring of the circle (Ernst Junger Quotes)
The anarch knows the rules. He has studied them as a historian and goes along with them as a contemporary. Wherever possible, he plays his own game within their framework; this makes the fewest waves (Ernst Junger Quotes)
The ship founders on a sandbank and then gets back afloat. Electric power stops; after a while, the machines start up again. During such recesses, the anarch measures his own strength and autonomy (Ernst Junger Quotes)
The anarch, as I have expounded elsewhere, is the pendant to the monarch; he is as sovereign as the monarch, and also freer since he does not have to rule (Ernst Junger Quotes)
I have nothing to do with the partisans. I wish to defy society not in order to improve it, but to hold it at bay no matter what. I suspend my achievements - but also my demands (Ernst Junger Quotes)
The special trait making me an anarch is that I live in a world which I ‘ultimately' do not take seriously. This increases my freedom; I serve as a temporary volunteer (Ernst Junger Quotes)
I am an anarch - not because I despise authority, but because I need it. Likewise, I am not a nonbeliever, but a man who demands something worth believing in (Ernst Junger Quotes)
One of the anarch's emoluments is that he is distinguished for things that he has done on the side or that go against his grain (Ernst Junger Quotes)
We do not escape our boundaries or our innermost being. We do not change. It is true we may be transformed, but we always walk within our boundaries, within the marked off circle (Ernst Junger Quotes)
A great physicist is always a metaphysicist as well; he has a higher concept of his knowledge and his task (Ernst Junger Quotes)
