I know that the Communists are atheistic and godless, but I don't think that that's what's primarily the matter with them. What's primarily the matter with them is that they worship a false god. That's much more dangerous than when people don't believe anything; they may be confused, they may not have a sense of the meaning of life, but they're not dangerous. The fanatic is dangerous. The Communists do have a god, the Dialectic of History, which guarantees everything that they're going to do and guarantees them victory; that's why they're fanatic.
Reinhold Niebuhr

If you see one cold and vehement at the same time, set him down for a fanatic.
Johann Kaspar Lavater
To claim you are more detached, more alien to everything than anyone, and to be merely a fanatic of indifference!
Emil Cioran
People will tie in with a fanatic if for no other reason than to break the monotony of their lives.
