The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“There are but few who have ideas and are, at the same time, capable of action. Ideas enlarge but stymie, action enlivens but confines.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
