Man has a single basic choice: to think or not, and that is the
gauge of his virtue. Moral perfection is an unbreached rationality
-- not the degree of your intelligence, but the full and relentless
use of your mind, not the extent of your knowledge, but the acceptance
of reason as an absolute.
-- John Galt
