I Like a Good Quote

The more I read from Nicolas Gomez Davila, the more I like his thought.

So regarding Davila and critics of modernism in general-- is there anything constructive to be done? It seems we actually are modernism in our very beings.

@CopperCicada When you realise your way is taking you to a wrong destination，the constructive thing to do is to make a u-turn.

I don't think we are modernism. We have learnt it, we can forget it

@Cierzo I guess I don't see how an individual alone can turn away from modernism. Any definition of modernism is inescapable.

@CopperCicada It is very hard to escape it totally, but the less we fall into materialism, the farther we move from it.

@Cierzo Escaping materialism is a very different project than escaping modernism.
