THE PRIMARY LIBERTY, IS FREE THOUGHT. MAN WHO ABDICATES THOUGHT, IS A SLAVE WHO FAILS TO PERCIEVE THE INVISABLE CHAINS.

I saw that evil was impotent- that evil was the irrational, the blind, the anti-real- and that the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it.

Evil, not value, is an absence and a negation, evil is impotent and has no power but that which we let it extort from us.

The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

[Reason] is a faculty that man has to exercise by CHOICE. Thinking is not an automatic function. In any hour and issue of his life, man is free to think or evade that effort.
