I need help remembering a Celine quote. It was something about how modern progressive society is based on nothing but false flattery whereas the Church used to force people to confront how depraved they were. Anybody know the one?

Pretty much ever novel he has done, ever. There was more than one you know.

More specifically, might sound something like this:

"Since the end of the period of belief, leaders exalt every defect, every kind of sadism, and gain all the more through their vices: vanity, ambition, war, death in a word."

Céline's anti-semetic streak was crystal sharp, and well known now. Beyond all that he was an equal opportunity satirist. He might fly with the more flexible alt-right crew, but his omni-satirical bent makes him too much an ambiguous degenerate for proper /pol/-tier quote mining; fair warning. I beg your pardon if that is not the case here, although it is an understandable assumption given where we are.

Someone should scan-and-post his Paris Review interview. Stalingrad was The End, in case you did not know. I would have loved to sit down to dinner with him to discuss literary theory. Then move on to history, after a few dozen beers. All on my own tab, and it would have been worth every penny.
