“Civilization should not merely be defended, it must be rebuilt, ceaselessly, because barbarism continues to destroy, and barbarism is never more threatening than when it, in turn, pretends to build. The worst misfortune in the world is that is has never been more difficult to distinguish between the builders and the destroyers. Barbarism has never had such powerful means to deceive: evil has never had a better opportunity to pretend to perform the works of good.”
- Georges Bernanos
This quote dates itself because it is now very easy to see the destroyers. I guess that means we are approaching the end.
