“A century of Fascism. For if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the State.”

There is the great, silent, continuous struggle: the struggle between the State and the Individual; between the State which demands and the individual who attempts to evade such demands. Because the individual, left to himself, unless he be a saint or hero, always refuses to pay taxes, obey laws, or go to war.

The function of a citizen and a soldier are inseparable.

Fascism is a religious concept.

I owe most to Georges Sorel. This master of syndicalism by his rough theories of revolutionary tactics has contributed most to form the discipline, energy and power of the fascist cohorts.

National pride has no need of the delirium of race.

Better to live a day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep

For us the national flag is a rag to be planted on a dunghill. There are only two fatherlands in the world: that of the exploited and that of the exploiters.

Democracy is talking itself to death. The people do not know what they want; they do not know what is the best for them.

We have buried the putrid corpse of liberty…

There is a violence that liberates, and a violence that enslaves; there is a violence that is moral and a violence that is immoral.

If you acquit me, you will give me great pleasure. If you condemn me you will do me honour!

Democracy is beautiful in theory; in practice it is a fallacy.

The struggle between the two worlds [Fascism and Democracy] can permit no compromises. It’s either Us or Them!

[The Fuhrer] is one of those lonely men of the ages on whom history is not tested, but who themselves are the makers of history.

Fascist education is moral, physical, social, and military: it aims to create a complete and harmoniously developed human, a fascist one according to our views.

The fate of nations is intimately bound up with their powers of reproduction. All nations and all empires first felt decadence gnawing at them when their birth rate fell off.

I must have loved you before, in another life, beyond a dream, across centuries.

Even after centuries of human interacting, children still continue to rebel against their parents and siblings.

If I could only live another century!

Even after centuries of human interacting, children still continue to rebel against their parents and siblings.

I have been the struggler of the century. Fortunately, everyone loves the underdog.

I believe it is important that we Japanese write a constitution for ourselves that would reflect the shape of the country we consider desirable in the 21st century.

The 20th Century was a century in which human rights were infringed upon in numerous parts of the world, and Japan also bears responsibility in that regard.

It is important to build good partnerships rather than score centuries.
