It's so graceless, being a martyr. It's honoring your adversaries too much.

You will follow me, if we are what we are, you and I, if we live, if the world exists, if you know the meaning of this moment and can't let it slip by, as others let it slip, into the senselessness of the unwilled and unreached.

A rational man is guided by his thinking - by a process of Reason - not by his feelings and desires.

Morally, the promise of an impossible “right” to economic security is an infamous attempt to abrogate the concept of rights. It can and does mean only one thing: a promise to enslave the men who produce, for the benefit of those who don’t.

A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue.

I want to know that I've accomplished something. I want to feel that it had some meaning. At the last summing up, I want to be sure it wasn't all-for nothing.

A moment or an eternity—did it matter? Life, undefeated, existed and could exist.
