“Rara vez se demostró de manera más concluyente la incapacidad de los gobiernos para retrasar el curso de la historia que en la generación posterior a 1815. Evitar una segunda Revolución Francesa, o la catástrofe aún peor de una revolución europea general en el modelo francés, fue el objetivo supremo. De todos los poderes que acababan de pasar más de veinte años derrotando al primero; incluso de los británicos, que no simpatizaban con el absolutismo reaccionario que se restableció en toda Europa y sabían que las reformas no podían ni debían evitarse, sino que temían una nueva expansión franco-jacobina más que cualquier otra internacional. contingencia. Y, sin embargo, nunca en la historia europea y raramente en ningún otro lugar el revolucionarismo ha sido tan endémico, tan general, tan propenso a propagarse por contagio espontáneo y propaganda deliberada.”

Introduction, The Century: A Bird's Eye View
The Age of Extremes (1992)

“It was the tragedy of modernist artists, Left or Right, that the much more effective political commitment of their own mass movements and politicians - not to mention their adversaries - rejected them. With the partial exception of Futurist-influenced Italian fascism, the new authoritarian regimes of both Right and Left preferred old-fashioned and gigantic monumental buildings and vistas in architecture, inspirational representations in both painting and sculpture, elaborate performances of the classics on stage, and ideological acceptability in literature.”

“However, mass expulsion and even genocide began to make their appearance on the southern margins of Europe during and after World War I, as the Turks set about the mass extirpation of the Armenians in 1915 and, after the Greco Turkish war of 1911, expelled between 1.3 and 1.5 millions of Greeks from Asia Minor, where they had lived since the days of Homer.1 Subsequently Adolph Hitler, who was in this respect a logical Wilsonian nationalist, arranged to transfer Germans not living on the territory of the fatherland, such as those of Italian South Tyrol, to Germany itself, as he also arranged for the permanent elimination of the Jews.”

“The cultural revolution of the later twentieth century can thus best be understood as the triumph of the individual over society, or rather, the breaking of the threads which in the past had woven human beings into social textures. For such textures had consisted not only of the actual relations between human beings and their forms of organization but also of the general models of such relations and the texted patterns of people's behaviour towards each other; their roles were prescribed, though not always written. Hence the often traumatic insecurity when older conventions of behaviour were either overturned or lost their rationale, or the incomprehension between those who felt this loss and those too young to have known anything but anomic society.”
