Altruism does not mean mere kindness or generosity, but the sacrifice of the best among men to the worst, the sacrifice of virtues to flaws, of ability to incompetence, of progress to stagnation - and the subordinating of all life and of all values to the claims of anyone's suffering.The man who produces while others dispose of his product is a slave. The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.-I feel it. I don't go by my head, but by my heart. You might be good at logic, but you're heartless.
- Madame, when we'll see men dying of starvation around us, your heart won't be of any earthly use to save them. And I'm heartless enough to say that when you'll scream, "but I didn't know it", you will not be forgiven.
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, 385
