“If one of our objectives is the preservation of the beautiful, we should also be doing our job to make sure more of it is being created! We aren't just trying to tend to the ashes, but to keep the fire burning.” - Paul Waggener - Painting by Johnathan Bowden. XIV ~ @UnitedYouthTranscripts

“It’s sad something like this [Youth Clubs] has to exist, but it must.” Not because we want sympathy, and not because we think youth makes us helpless. The opposite. The conditions around us forced us to mature faster than we otherwise would have. Previous generations had the luxury of treating youth as a period of waiting. We do not. We are learning organization, discipline, leadership, culture, and responsibility now because we believe the future will punish anyone who waits too long to become serious. There is no point mourning the childhood we might have had. History gave us a different role. So we will grow into that role before anyone thinks we are ready, and we will prove that responsibility does not wait for age. “Youth looks forward to life.” — Arthur Schopenhauer, Counsels and Maxims XIV ~ @UnitedYouthTranscripts

“The young nationalist possesses energy and enthusiasm, and also brute physical strength. Isn’t there a need for youth that is muscular and tense with a kind of cruelty that makes it beautiful and noble? We need young men who are superb and agile beasts and who forget what fear and death are. The struggle for life is not child’s play: there can be no comfort.” Fabrice Laroche, ‘What is a Militant?’, Europe-Action, 8, August 1963.
