“INDIVIDUALISM
HOLDS THAT A CIVILIZED SOCIETY, OR ANY FORM OF ASSOCIATION, COOPERATION OR PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE AMONG MEN, CAN BE ACHIEVED ONLY ON THE BASIS OF THE RECOGNITION OF INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, AND THAT A GROUP, AS SUCH, HAS NO RIGHTS OTHER THAN THE INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF ITS MEMBERS.”
— AYN RAND
“Individualism regards man, every man, as an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life, a right derived from his nature as a rational being.”
— Ayn Rand
