What is the most inspirational quote you've ever read in a book?

>> No.8528407

>>8528377
He's an atheist, why would he care about muh human beings??? Why doesn't he just fund a research to create a huge atomic bomb that can burn the whole planet in 5 minutes to end all suffering on earth? Nothing has souls after all, every living thing lives to suffer pointlessly according to people like him.

It's this kind of thinking that shows how truly stupid religious people are.

Why care?
Because I like some people. God or not, life is the most anomalous and enigmatic thing for trillions of lightyears in any direction and the only thing moreso would be more life from elsewhere. Life is a great mystery. You don't have to play pretend you have the answers to it to enjoy it or feel empathy.

He argues that natural rights can be grasped by universally everyone, including the recognition of private property and the individual's supremacy over his own body. He argues that people whose ideologies clash with natural rights and private property (democracy, communism, socialism, etc.) should be looked down as intellectually challenged people who are devoid of any rights.

But I have read this quote and I believe this specific passage is when he is specifically referring to covenants whose nature is conservative (nuclear family, kin-oriented, etc.). He says that simple ostracism or contempt would be sufficient to make these degenerates go "back in the closet". The physical removal part only comes when they start to act militant.

>>8534950
>I have read this quote
I meant I have read this book.

To expand on this, he says the fact that private property owners would have the right to admit or exclude whomever they wanted from their property, it would be certainly in their interests to not only get rid of people who are universally reviled by society (con men, beggars, homeless, rude people, the unpleasant, gypsies, etc.) but also of people who are in fact a tangible threat to the libertarian order.
