Quotes About Jesuitism

Nietzsche] refers to two great events which in modern times were made to prevent a radical deepening of human thought: Jesuitism in the 17th century and the democratic enlightenment in the 18th and 19th. But there are two men (in each case one man) who opposed these reactionary things. In the case of Jesuitism, it was Pascal; in the case of the democratic enlightenment, it is Nietzsche.
~ Leo Strauss
Modern Socialism wants to create a secular version of Jesuitism: everybody a perfect instrument. But the purpose remains to be discovered. What is it all for!
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
