Capitalism is based on individual rights - not on the sacrifice of the individual to the 'public good' of the collective.

Civilization is the process of setting man free from men.

The quickest way to kill the human spirit is to ask someone to do mediocre work.

Why no. I’m too conceited. If you want to call it that. I don’t make comparisons. I never think of myself in relation to anyone else. I just refuse to measure myself as part of anything. I’m an utter egotist.

I stand here on the summit of the mountain. I lift my head and I spread my arms. This, my body and spirit, this is the end of the quest. I wished to know the meaning of all things. I am the meaning. I wished to find a warrant for being. I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction. Neither am I the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a sacrifice on their alters.

Errors of knowledge are not breaches of morality; no proper moral code can demand infallibility or omniscience.
