Name a quote you like that was spoken by a person you don't like.

"You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality." -Ayn Rand

I hate almost everything about Rand but that quote is a true winner.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” - C.S. Lewis

@SW-User I have very mixed opinions of C.S. Lewis. His conversion to religion based on what he called rationality is the biggest thing that makes it difficult to like him.

@BlueMetalChick yeah that shit makes no sense to me at all and he was such a dick about it too. It's annoying because I'd waste his ass in a face-to-face conversation.

@SW-User He was undeniably intelligent, his writing makes that clear, but even the smartest people sometimes have no sense at all.

And you're right, he had to make it super public and in your face that he was religious.
