"The most controversial speech—even the most disgusting—is important to protect because it forces us to formulate rigorous logical arguments explaining why we are right, rather than allowing our ideas to stagnate in uncontested complacency."

Greg Lukianoff (via questingenlightenment)
Yes, yes, and yes. An opinion isn’t worth a damn if you can’t logically defend it against all comers.

"It doesn’t say much. Only “Howard Roark, Architect”. But it’s like those mottoes men carved over the entrance of a castle and died for. It’s a challenge in the face of something so vast and so dark, that all the pain on earth - and do you know how much suffering there is on earth? - all the pain comes from that thing y…ou are going to face. I don’t know what it is, I don’t know why it should be unleashed against you. I know only that it will be. And I know that if you carry these words through to the end, it will be a victory, Howard, not just for you, but for something that should win, that moves the world - and never wins acknowledgment. It will vindicate so many who have fallen before you, who have suffered as you will suffer. May God bless you - or whoever it is that is alone to see the best, the highest possible to human hearts. You’re on your way to hell, Howard.”
