"One can't love man without equally hating most of the creatures who pretend to bear his name. It's one or the other."
"Look, he seems to say, I'm so glad to be a pygmy, that's how virtuous I am...But that's not the spirit that leashed fire, steam, electricity, that crossed oceans in sailing sloops, that built airplanes and dams...and skyscrapers."
This is Rand complaining that to love all men equally is to do a huge disservice to humanity. We should recognize and exalt greatness.
