I can't for the life of me remember who said this.

"Abandon the philistinism inherited from your fathers, 'twill only force reality into the darkest corner of oblivion. Abandon the illusion that enraptures you, for the bliss is deceitful in nature. Abandon the terrific morality of altruism, 'tis merely the guise of falsehood. Abandon all ye ignorant suppositions, languor is the singular characteristic it grants the mind. For innumerable centuries this most develish abstract has been worshipped by the masses and placed on a pedistal of mischevious intentions.It is praised more highly than the illusion of God."

Stirner?

Google didn't come up with anything.

I thought it was Rand, but I'm not certain. I find it very interesting though.

sounds like Ayn Rand (or however the pretentious ass spells her name).

I hate her.

"pedestal of mischievous intentions"... i like that it sounds dirty... very dirty
