If men want to oppose war, it is statism that they must oppose.

The fight we are in here, make no mistake about it, is a fight of individualism versus collectivism.

In order to be in control of your life, you have to have a purpose-a productive purpose.

Any group or "collective", large or small, is only a number of individuals. A group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members.

The necessary consequence of man's right to life is his right to self-defense. In a civilized society, force may be used only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use. All the reasons which make the initiation of physical force an evil, make the retaliatory use of physical force a moral imperative. If some "pacifist" society renounced the retaliatory use of force, it would be left helplessly at the mercy of the first thug who decided to be immoral. Such a society would achieve the opposite of its intention: instead of abolishing evil, it would encourage and reward it.

To demand 'sense' is the hallmark of nonsense. Nature does not make sense. Nothing makes sense.

You have been the one encounter in my life that can never be repeated
