Backlighting Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Without quoting John Galt's speech or any of her other very long statements I submit these gems:“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”"It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master""No man can have a right to impose an unchosen obligation, an unrewarded duty or an involuntary servitude on another man. There can be no such thing as “the right to enslave.”“every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he'll rise."-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
