This was the great clarity of being beyond emotion, after the reward of having felt everything one could feel.

The right of a nation to determine its own form of government does not include the right to establish a slave society (that is, to legalize the enslavement of some men by others). There is no such thing as "the right to enslave." A nation can do it, just as a man can become a criminal- but neither can do it by right.

There is no affirmation without the one who affirms. in this sense, everything to which you grant your love is yours

I am a man who does not exist for others.

Only a man of integrity can possess the virtue of honesty, since only the faking of one’s consciousness can permit the faking of existence.

The freedom of speech of private individuals includes the right to not agree, not to listen, and not to finance one's own antagonists.

Honesty is the recognition of the fact that the unreal is unreal and can have no value, that neither love nor fame nor cash is a value if obtained by fraud.
