The Qualities Which Technique Requires For Its Advance Are Precisely Those Characteristics Of A Technical Order Which Do Not Represent Indivisual Intelligence...the Individual, In Order To Make Use Of Technical Instruments, No Longer Needs To Know About His Civilization.

No Technique Is Possible When Men Are Free. Technique Requires Predictability And, No Less, Exactness Of Prediction. It Is Necessary, Then, That Technique Prevail Over The Human Being.

Hate, Hunger, And Pride Make Better Levers Of Propaganda Than Do Love Or Impartiality.

In Point Of Fact There Are A Certain Number Of Values And Of Forces Which Are Of Decisive Importance In Our World Civilization: The Primacy Of Production, The Continual Growth Of The Power Of The State And The Formation Of The National State, The Autonomous Development Of Technics, Etc. These, Among Others - Far More Than The Ownership Of The Means Of Production Or Any Totalitarian Doctrine - Are The Constitutive Elements Of The Modern World. So Long As These Elements Continue To Be Taken For Granted, The World Is Standing Still.

Am I A Pessimist? Not At All. I Am Convinced That The History Of The Human Race, No Matter How Tragic, Will Ultimately Lead To The Kingdom Of God. I Am Convinced That All The Works Of Humankind Will Be Reintegrated In The Work Of God, And That Each Of Us, No Matter How Sinful, Will Ultimately Be Saved.
