“A culture that values production over life values the wrong things, because it will produce things at the expense of living beings, human or otherwise.”

“You’re not a human being until you value something more than the life of your body. And the greater the thing you live and die for the greater you are.”

“Life and existence have no value in themselves. We mean nothing; not even those who are needed mean anything. The only thing of real value is what we produce.”

“On the Bigotry of Culture:: it presented us with culture, with thought as something justified in itself, that is, which requires no justification but is valid by it's own essence, whatever its concrete employment and content maybe. Human life was to put itself at the service of culture because only thus would it become charged with value. From which it would follow that human life, our pure existence was, in itself, a mean and worthless thing.”

“I realized that all my life, my values were based upon typical middle-class American values: hard work, doing good, living well, owning things, following the rules & being the best I can be... but God clearly says, "those are not MY values. I value justice, mercy & humility.”

“It seemed like today's culture placed the value of life below so many other things that have little importance in the long run.”
