"Fascism is a religious conception in which man is seen in his immanent relationship with a superior law and with an objective Will that transcends the particular individual and raises him to conscious membership of a spiritual society. Whoever has seen in the religious politics of the Fascist regime nothing but mere opportunism has not understood that Fascism besides being a system of government is also, and above all, a system of thought."

Law And Order
With the emergence of space and time came the formation of laws and order as opposed to the chaos of which it arose. The laws that would serve to preserve the order of future and forming systems.
Let that which is above, be lesson to that which is below, for the most part.

“I like to think of fire held in a man's hand. Fire, a dangerous force, tamed at his fingertips. I often wonder about the hours when a man sits alone, watching the smoke of a cigarette, thinking. I wonder what great things have come from such hours. When a man thinks, there is a spot of fire alive in his mind--and it is proper that he should have the burning point of a cigarette as his one expression.”

Not to state the obvious, but I've turned this into a game for myself as well. Got the idea from the word association game. I use a keyword from prior post to integrate into a new quote worthy post. Quotes by the renowned are good, but I prefer to write my own, most of the time.

Just remember, nothing ever truly ends, if it did, than it would have never begun in the first place.

Dr. Hans Zarkov : We are only interested in friendship. Why do you attack us?
The Emperor Ming : Why not? Pathetic earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void, without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe, anything at all, you would've hidden from it in terror.
- Flash Gordon (1980)
