It understand why it's never too late. While reading Leftism Revisited I came across this nugget:
The true rightist is not a man who wants to go back to this or that institution for the sake of return; he wants first to find out what is eternally true, eternally valid, and then either to restore or to reinstall it, regardless of whether it seems obsolete, whether it is ancient, contemporary, brand new or ultramodern . . . The Man of the Right does not have a time-bound mind, but a sovereign mind.Wish I had written that, but then again, I do well look up to my betters.
