Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein

This quote was added by derhabicht
Man is what he is, a wild animal with the will to survive, and (so far) the ability, against all competition. Unless one accepts that, anything one says about morals, war, politics-you name it-is nonsense. Correct morals arise from knowing what man is-not what do-gooders and well-meaning old Aunt Nellies would like him to be. The universe will let us know-later-whether or not Man has any "right" to expand through it.
