It had to be said: the world is perishing from an orgy of self-sacrifice.

You who've lost the concept of a right, you who swing in impotent evasiveness between the claim that rights are a gift of God, a supernatural gift to be taken on faith, or the claim that rights are a gift of society, to be broken at its arbitrary whim -- the source of man's rights is not divine law or congressional law, but the law of identity. A is A -- and Man is Man. Rights are conditions of existence required by man's nature for his proper survival.If man is to live on earth, it is right for him to use his mind, it is right to act on his own free judgment, it is right to work for his values and to keep the product of his work. If life on earth is his purpose, he has a right to live as a rational being: nature forbids him the irrational. Any group, any gang, any nation that attempts to negate man's rights, is wrong, which means: is evil, which means: is anti-life.

We are on strike. Why should this seem so startling? There is only one kind of men who have never been on strike in human history. Every other kind and class have stopped, when they so wished, and have presented demands to the world, claiming to be indispensable -- except the men who have carried the world on their shoulders, have kept it alive, have endured torture as sole payment, but have never walked out on the human race. Well, their turn has come. Let the world discover who they are, what they do, and what happens when they refuse to function. This is the strike of the men of the mind, Miss Taggart, this is the mind on strike.

I swear -- by my life and my love for it -- that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

A lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemned from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked ... The man who lies to the world is the world's slave from then on.

A fool and his money are soon parted. What I want to know is how they got together in the first place.

A lady lost her cat, and took the cat in a little casket up to a big church and said, "I want you to bury my cat." And they run her off. She went to another church, and they run her off. She took the cat to a Baptist church on the edge of town, and told the preacher she couldn't find nobody to hold a service for her dead cat. And the man talked to her bad. "How dare you think that we bury cats?" She said, "Well, I'm frustrated and I'm prepared to give two thousand dollars to whoever gives a service for my cat." And the preacher said, "Lady, why didn't you tell me your cat was a Baptist?"

Most problems have either many answers or no answer. Only a few problems have one answer.
