Leonard Peikoff Quote

When the leading voices of the emotionalist Republic championed feeling, it was not as a source of knowledge or of human happiness, but of freedom: the freedom from objectivity, method, logic, fact. It was feeling not as an alleged means to truth, but as the nullification of thought.
