‘“The greatest good for the greatest number” is one of the most vicious slogans ever foisted on humanity.’
‘“the good” is not determined by counting numbers and is not achieved by the sacrifice of anyone to anyone.’
Ayn Rand
تیشے بغیر مر نہ سکا کوہ کن اسدؔ
سرگشتۂ خُمارِ رسوم و قیود تھا
مِرزا غالب

Judy Melinek
"Let us learn to show our friendship for a man when he is alive and not after he is dead."
F. Scott Fitzgerald
