“Every society depends on an experience of membership: a sense of who 'we' are, why we belong together, and what we share. This experience is pre-political: it precedes all political institutions, and provides our reason for accepting them."
Sir Roger Scruton

« Tout part, tout revient ; éternellement roule la roue de l’être. Tout meurt, tout refleurit, à tout jamais court l’an de l’être.

À chaque instant l’être commence ; autour de chaque ici roule la sphère Là-bas. Le centre est partout. Courbe est la sente de l’éternité. »
— Friedrich Nietzsche, Ainsi parlait Zarathoustra (1883–1885)

― Albert Camus
