“Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.”
― Margaret Thatcher,

"It is not society, nor any social right, that forbids you to kill—but the inalienable individual right of another man to live. This is not a “compromise” between two rights—but a line of division that preserves both rights untouched. The division is not derived from an edict of society—but from your own inalienable individual right. The definition of this limit is not set arbitrarily by society—but is implicit in the definition of your own right."

Within the sphere of your own rights, your freedom is absolute. “Textbook of Americanism,” Ayn Rand Column, 85

I love all the quotes so far. Thanks for starting the thread.

"Have you felt it too? Have you seen how your best friends love everything about you- except the things that count? And your most important is nothing to them; nothing, not even a sound they can recognize.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead


Do not try to save them. Do not debate them. Do not care about them. They are irredeemable and ultimately irrelevant.
