Yaron Brook
“Genuine rights don’t conflict—they enable us to live together without intractable conflicts.”
Yaron Brook, Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government

Leonard Peikoff
“Every argument for God and every attribute ascribed to Him rests on a false metaphysical premise. None can survive for a moment on a correct metaphysics....

Existence exists, and only existence exists. Existence is a primary: it is uncreated, indestructible, eternal. So if you are to postulate something beyond existence—some supernatural realm—you must do it by openly denying reason, dispensing with definitions, proofs, arguments, and saying flatly, “To Hell with argument, I have faith.” That, of course, is a willful rejection of reason.

Objectivism advocates reason as man’s sole means of knowledge, and therefore, for the reasons I have already given, it is atheist. It denies any supernatural dimension presented as a contradiction of nature, of existence. This applies not only to God, but also to every variant of the supernatural ever advocated or to be advocated. In other words, we accept reality, and that’s all.”
Leonard Peikoff, Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand

Yaron Brook
“Just as altruism tells an individual that however much he is sacrificing, his duty is to sacrifice more, the Progressives concluded that however much Americans were giving, morality required them to give more.”
Yaron Brook, Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government
