A culture is made — or destroyed — by its articulate voices. - Ayn Rand

The conservatives see man as a body freely roaming the earth, building sand piles or factories—with an electronic computer inside his skull, controlled from Washington. The liberals see man as a soul freewheeling to the farthest reaches of the universe—but wearing chains from nose to toes when he crosses the street to buy a loaf of bread.

To be free, a man must be free of his brothers. That is freedom. This and nothing else.

The second handers offer substitutes for competence such as love, charm, kindness - easy substitutes - and there is no substitute for creation.
