To us, the high-resounding isms to which our contemporaries ask us to give our allegiance, now, in 1948, are all equally futile bound to be betrayed, defeated, and finally rejected by men at large, if containing anything really noble bound to enjoy, for the time being, some sort of noisy success if sufficiently vulgar, pretentious and soul-killing to appeal to the growing number of mechanically conditioned slaves that crawl about our planet, posing as free men all destined to prove, ultimately, of no avail.
More Quotes from Savitri Devi:
Sincere thought, real free thought, ready, in the name of superhuman authority or of humble common sense, to question the basis of what is officially taught and generally accepted, is less and less likely to thrive. It is, we repeat, by far easier to enslave a literate people than an illiterate one, strange as this may seem at first sight. And the enslavement is more likely to be lasting.Savitri Devi
Respect the man of noble races other than your own, who carries out, in a different place, a combat parallel to yours -- to ours. He is your ally. He is our ally, be he at the other end of the world. Love all living things whose humble task is not opposed in any way to yours, to ours men with simple hearts, honest, without vanity and malice, and all the animals, because they are beautiful, without exception and without exception indifferent to whatever idea there may be. Love them, and you will see the eternal in the glance of their eyes of jet, amber, or emerald. Love also the trees, the plants, the water that runs though the meadow and on to the sea without knowing where it goes love the mountain, the desert, the forest, the immense sky, full of light or full of clouds because all these exceed man and reveal the eternal to you.
Savitri Devi

Savitri Devi
Creation and destruction are one, to the eyes who can see beauty. And the greatest praise to India is this not only are her people beautiful not only are her daily life and cult beautiful but, in the midst of the utilitarian, humanitarian, dogmatic world of the present day, she keeps on proclaiming the outstanding value of Beauty for the sake of Beauty, through her very conception of Godhead, of religion and of life.
Savitri Devi
