“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. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful co-existence 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, [Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum] (1905-1982) Russian-American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter.
