"The historical world in which we find ourselves
resembles a fast-moving vehicle, which at one moment presents its comfort
aspects, at the next its horror aspects. It is the Titanic, and it is
Leviathan. Since a moving object entices the eye, it will remain concealed to
most of the ship’s guests that they simultaneously exist in another realm, one
where a perfect stillness reigns. This second realm is so superior as to
contain the first within it like a plaything, as merely one of an uncountable
number of other manifestations. This second realm is the harbor, is one's homeland, is the peace and security that everyone carries within them. We call
it the forest."
- Ernst Juenger
