Ayn Rand, "The Fountainhead"

Now observe the results of a society built on the principle of individualism. This, our country. The noblest country in the history of men. The country of greatest achievement, greatest prosperity, greatest freedom.

Jose (Pepe) Mujica

Pertenezco a una generaciĆ³n que quiso cambiar el mundo, fui aplastado, derrotado, pulverizado, pero sigo soƱando que vale la pena luchar para que la gente pueda vivir un poco major y con un mayor sentido de igualdad.

(I belong to a generation that wanted to change the world, I was crushed, defeated, pulverized, but I keep on dreaming that it is worth the effort to fight so that the people can live a little better and with a greater sense of equality.)

Yogi Berra

It ain't over 'til it's over

(It was over for Yogi Berra when he died on September 22, 2015.)

Ayn Rand, "The Fountainhead"

The 'common good' of a collective - a race, a class, a state - was the claim and justification of every tyranny ever established over men.
