"As far as Europe is Christian, it is (in the ethical and spiritual
sense) Jewish; as far as Europe is moral, it is Jewish. Almost all
European ethics are rooted in Judaism. All champions of religious or
irreligious Christian morality, from Augustine to Rousseau, Kant and
Tolstoy, were Jews by choice in the spiritual sense; Nietzsche is the
only non-Jewish, the only pagan ethicist in Europe. The most prominent
and the foremost proponents of Christian ideas which are present in its
modern reincarnation are pacifism and socialism, and these are Jewish."
- Richard Coudenhove Kalergi, Praktischer Idealismus, 1925.
