The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence.
Ayn RandUnjust laws have to be fought ideologically; they cannot be fought or corrected by means of mere disobedience and futile martyrdom.
Ayn RandWhen one acts on pity against justice, it is the good whom one punishes for the sake of the evil; when one saves the guilty from suffering, it is the innocent whom one forces to suffer. There is no escape from justice, nothing can be unearned and unpaid for in the universe, neither in matter nor in spiritโand if the guilty do not pay, then the innocent have to pay it.
