“In the final analysis, what is it that we call popular, democratic power? Beyond the expressed will of the people, as it is supposedly formulated, there is no appeal; here we meet the absolute, the universal, the indivisible, and the immovable. There is nothing a priori, nothing anterior to democratic power; no ideas of truth, no notions of good or bad, can bind the Popular Will. This 'will' is free in the sense that it stands above all notions of value. It is egalitarian because it is reared on arithmetic equality..It is not open to any appeal, it listens to no demand for grace, no plea for compassion. Like the Sphinx, the Popular Will is immovable in its enigmatic silence.”
Tage Lindbom, The Myth of Democracy

“[En réalité ce qu'on appelle tolérance] est un mouvement destructif en direction d'une hétérodoxie totale, d'un relativisme où toute opinion, tout principe et toute norme doivent être rendus provisoires. C'est une coexistence humaine dans laquelle rien ne saurait être tenu pour vrai au-delà du délai de validité des derniers résultats de la recherche, rien ne vaut en dehors des prises de position subjectives des individus ou des collectivités d’intérêts, rien n'a de reconnaissance juridique sauf à l'intérieur du cadre prescrit par les majorités des assemblées légiférantes.”
Tage Lindbom, The Tares and the Good Grain or the Kingdom of Man at the Hour of Reckoning

“İnsan bu sosyal sözleşmeyle birlikte “kutsallaştırılmıştır” ve bu “kutsallaştırılan” insanın yaptığı şey ise, aslına bakılırsa Tanrı’nın yerini gasp etmekten başka bir şey değildir.”
Tage Lindbom
