Top 15 Stephen R.C. Hicks Quotes (2025 Update)

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “The horse eats the grass; the lion kills the horse; the man rides the horse and kills the lion. Life is an ongoing struggle between strong and weak, predator and prey. Cooperation and trade are possible, but they are superficial interludes between more fundamental animal facts about life. As Nietzsche again puts it: “‘Life always lives at the expense of other life’ – he who does not grasp this has not taken even the first step toward honesty with himself.”

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “In 1920, psychiatry Professor Alfred Hoche and distinguished jurist Karl Binding wrote The Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life.

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “Why did the French Revolution go so horribly wrong, descending in a reign of paranoia, fratricide, and terror? Why, by contrast, did the American Revolution, in many ways fighting the same kind of battle and subject to the same desperate pressures, not go the same self-destructive route? How, a century and a half later, could the most educated nation in Europe become a Nazi dictatorship?”

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “Again there was no military response from the Allies. Instead they believed Hitler was satisfied.

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “Both religion and socialism thus glorify weakness and need. Both recoil from the world as it is: tough, unequal, harsh. Both flee to an imaginary future realm where they can feel safe. Both say to you: Be a nice boy. Be a good little girl. Share. Feel sorry for the little people. And both desperately seek someone to look after them – whether it be God or the State.”

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “Morality, as Nietzsche puts it paradoxically, has become a bad thing; morality has become immoral: “precisely morality would be to blame if the highest power and splendor actually possible to the type man was never in fact attained?

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “A new ethical standard was therefore necessary. With great fanfare, then, much of the Left changed its official ethical standard from need to equality.

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “As would be expected by the socialist part of National Socialism, the guiding principle of Nazi economics was that all property belongs to the people, the Volk, and was to be used only for the good of the people.

Stephen R.C. Hicks Quote: “We know that the National Socialists were thoroughly collectivistic and strongly anti-individualistic. For them the relevant groups were the Germanic Aryans – and all the others. Individuals were defined by their group identity, and individuals were seen only as vehicles through which the groups achieved their interests. The Nazis rejected the Western liberal idea that individuals are ends in themselves: to the Nazis individuals were merely servants of the groups to which they belong. The.”
