• Judaism is not a passive religion, but an active life factor which has coalesced
  with the national consciousness into one organic whole. It is primarily the

  having once acted as the leaven of the social world, is destined to be resurrected
  with the rest of civilized nations.

• Some people giving orders and others obeying them: this is the essence of servitude. Of course, as Hospers smugly observes, "one can at least change jobs," but you can't avoid having a job - just as under statism one can at least change nationalities but you can't avoid subjection to one nation-state or another. But freedom means more than the right to change masters.

• In today's world, the elites are growing even more comfortable with one another across national lines, yet at the same time, less comfortable with low-income people who share their nationality.

• It is easier for a Russian to become an Atheist, than for any other nationality in the world.

Such is our anguish of thirst!
