Count to Infinity (Count to the Eschaton Sequence #6)

by John C. Wright

A commonwealth of self-sacrificing rather than selfish entities can resist both corruption and tyranny, since the cost of gratification delay drops to zero to those who live for others.”

“Murder is your own suicide thrown onto another man. It is a madness that feeds madness. It opens the gates of hell.”

To live in perfection forever with an unfading memory of the unforgiven crimes we must commit to reach that paradise would make it hell.”

Altruism, the total loss of self for the sake of the other, is the only rational intersection of interests between the infinitely blessed and endlessly cursed.
