G. B. Shaw to William Douglas Home: ‘Go on writing plays, my boy. One of these days a London producer will go into his office and say to his secretary, `Is there a play from Shaw this morning?’ and when she says `No,’ he will say, `Well, then we’ll have to start on the rubbish.’ And that’s your chance, my boy.’ George Bernard Shaw

If somebody kills somebody, it’s a crime, but if somebody kills …
If somebody kills somebody, it’s a crime, but if somebody kills somebody of a different race, it’s a hate crime. And we think that that is a savage hypocrisy, because all crimes are hate crimes. If a man beats another man because that man was sleeping with his wife, is that not a hate crime? If a person vandalizes a government building, is it not because of his hate for the government? The motivation for a crime shouldn’t affect the sentencing. It is time to stop splitting people into groups. All hate crime laws do is support the idea that blacks are different from whites, that homosexuals are different, that we aren’t the same. But instead we should all be treated the same, with the same laws and the same punishments for the same crimes. South Park kids

Ayn Rand

I made my money by my own effort, in free exchange and through the voluntary consent of every man I dealt with — the voluntary consent of those who employed me when I started, the voluntary consent of those who work for me now, the voluntary consent of those who buy my product. Ayn Rand
