A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Margaret Mead

Any group or "collective," large or small, is only a number of individuals. A group can have no rights other than the rights of its individual members.

A group, as such, has no rights.

Ayn Rand
