the important consideration is not your opponents, but yourself. It is bad to scream at them, not because it hurts them, they ought to be hurt, but because it hurts you. Anger is a form of recognition. It amounts to admitting that those people are important to you and that they have the power to hurt you. Actually, they haven't.
Ayn RandThe Romanticists predominantly, were enemies of capitalism, which they regarded as a prosaic, materialistic, โpetty bourgeoisโ system โ never realizing that it was the only system that could make freedom, individuality and the pursuit of values possible in practice.
Ayn Rand"Judge not, that ye be not judge"... is an abdication of moral responsibility: it is a moral blank check one gives to others in exchange for a moral blank check one expects for oneself. There is no escape from the fact that men have to make choices; so long as men have to make choices, there is no escape from moral values; so long as moral values are at stake, no moral neutrality is possible. To abstain from condemning a torturer, is to become an accesory to the torture and murder of his victims. The moral principle to adopt... is: "Judge, and be prepared to be judged."
Ayn RandOne must never allow oneself to acquire an exaggerated sense of one's own importance. There's no necessity to burden oneself with absolutes
