“My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don't really have any concept of how money works. I don't know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk.

“If a man speculates on what 'society' should do for the poor, he accepts thereby the collectivist premise that men's lives belong to society and that he, as a member of society, has the right to dispose of them...that psychological confession reveals the enormity of the extent to which altruism erodes men's capacity to grasp the concept of rights or the value of an individual life.” IfsMenShouldValuesIndividualPoorAcceptingRightsMembersConceptsCapacityPsychologicalConfessionAltruismPremisesErodeIndividual Life Author:Ayn Rand

“If you could read some of the stories that we had before us of parents of children dying of, let's say, bone cancer. Or people who dealt with family members drowning in their own bodies, in the end, suffering without any hope of modern medical science easing their pain or offering any comfort. With the absolute knowledge that they were going to die anyway. I can't quite comprehend how we could want those people to continue to suffer that extreme agony on the understanding that it is the will of a creator or some other philosophical concept.” PeopleIfsWantChildrenI CanEndsStoriesBodyPainSufferingDiesParentUnderstandingModernDyingComfortMembersConceptsAbsolutesPhilosophicalCancerCreatorExtremesBonesMedicalOfferingAgonyDrowningFamily MembersMedical ScienceChildren DyingBone Cancer Author:Kelvin Ogilvie
“My dad and some teachers were constantly pushing me to do better than I was doing because they all knew that I could.

“Growing up after the Second World War in a Jewish family, I really understand that, and have members of my family who are very committed to this concept. My grandfather's first name was Israel and he thought it was his country. In my own sense of this issue as an American Jew, I have been on both sides of this. At this point I think it is very important for there to be separation of religion and state. It's not good for Jews. It's not good for Muslims. It's not good for Christians.
