It is a strange paradox of our history that this doctrine - which tells us to regard ourselves, in effect, as sacrificial animals - has been generally accepted as a doctrine representing benevolence and love for humankind. From the first individual… who was sacrificed on an altar for the good of the tribe, to the heretics and dissenters burned at the stake for the good of the populace or the glory of God, to the millions exterminated in… slave-labor camps for the good of the race or of the proletariat, it is this (collectivist) morality that has served as justification for every dictatorship and every atrocity, past or present. – Nathaniel Branden	added by Normando 3 years ago

We must keep replenished, that they may glow with a more compelling flame, the altar fires before which they worshiped. – Calvin Coolidge	added by Normando 5 years ago
