More From Samuel P. Huntington

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... 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.

Western civilization has been in a state of decline since the edwardian age, say 1910. that was the height of greco-roman european civilization. then there was the first world war. that was the beginning of the end. that civilization has been in a decline ever since. but from the american triumphalist point of view our wonderful electronic revolution is really the forefront of an ongoing wonderful civilization.

Every isolated passion, is, in isolation, insane; sanity may be defined as synthesis of insanities. every dominant passion generates a dominant fear, the fear of its non-fulfillment. every dominant fear generates a nightmare, sometimes in form of explicit and conscious fanaticism, sometimes in paralyzing timidity, sometimes in an unconscious or subconscious terror which finds expression only in dreams. the man who wishes to preserve sanity in a dangerous world should summon in his own mind a parliament of fears, in which each in turn is voted absurd by all the others.
