"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."

"The fascist authoritarianism, characterized by sado - masochism and destructiveness, had a function which is comparable psychologically to a neurotic symptom - namely, fascism compensated for powerlessness and individual isolation and protected the individual from anxiety - creating situations.
