“Plants began the process of land colonization about 450 million years ago, accompanied of necessity by tiny mites and other organisms which they needed to break down and recycle dead organic matter on their behalf. Larger animals took a little longer to emerge, but by about 400 million years ago they were venturing out of the water, too. Popular illustrations have encouraged us to envision the first venturesome land dwellers as a kind of ambitious fish—something like the modern mudskipper, which can hop from puddle to puddle during droughts—or even as a fully formed amphibian. In fact, the first visible mobile residents on dry land were probably much more like modern woodlice, sometimes also known as pillbugs or sow bugs. These are the little bugs (crustaceans, in fact) that are commonly thrown into confusion when you upturn a rock or log.”
Sleep is not a luxury. It’s a basic necessity.

“Herkese her yerde işlenmiş bilgi süprüntüleri sunmak uğruna bunca para ve saatlerce insan gücü harcayan ama dünyayı kendi başımıza keşfetmemiz için neredeyse hiç bir şey yapmayan bir toplumda yanlış olan bir şey vardır”(Edward Reed-The Necessity of Experience(deneyimin Gerekliliği kitabı)
Though I uncircumscribed myself retire, And put not forth my goodness, which is free To act or not, necessity and chance Approach not me, and what I will is fate.

When will and reason (reason also is choice) Useless and vain, of freedom both despoiled, Made passive both, had served necessity, Not me.

Hayat Bilimi
Ne ilginçtir ki insanlar her türlü meselede eğitim ve eğitmen ihtiyacının farkındalar ve iyi kötü özenli bir çalışma içerisindeler ama hayat bilimi ile hiç ilgilenmiyor ve onu anlamak için hiç çaba sarf etmiyorlar. PİERRE NİCOLE (Treatise on the Necessity of Not Trusting to Chance)
Budur!
... for the strength of a man and the softness of a woman, the institution of the family, and the differentiation of occupations are mere militant necessities of an age of physical force. Where population is balanced and abundant, much childbearing becomes an evil rather than a blessing to the State; where violence comes but rarely and offspring are secure, there is less necessity—indeed there is no necessity for an efficient family, and the specialization of the sexes with reference to their children’s needs disappears. "Erkeğin gücü ve kadının yumuşaklığı, aile kurumu ve mesleklerin ayrımı, fiziksel gücün önemli olduğu bir dönemin sadece savaşa dayalı gereklilikleridir. Nüfus dengeli ve bol olduğunda, çok fazla çocuk sahibi olmak devlete bir nimet değil, bir zarar haline gelir; şiddet nadiren ortaya çıktığında ve soy güvende olduğunda, etkili bir aileye ve cinsiyetlerin çocuklarına yönelik uzmanlaşmasına gerek yoktur.
Kitaplar, sanki asla geri dönemeyeceğimiz bir anın tanıkları gibi, bir ihtiyaç ve unutkanlık anlaşmasıyla tutunurlar insana. Books, like witnesses of a moment we can never return to, cling to us with a pact of necessity and forgetfulness.
I think of our last moments together, Jacks covered in Tank’s blood. Is he still the Jacks I knew? He defeated Tank and then had to turn around and kill his own father. I hope he knows it was a necessity. I hope he’s safe. I collapse onto the bed. I want to fight, but all I can do is wait.

But the most notoriously devastating review came from William Buckley’s National Review. Echoing the views of many religious conservatives, another kind of ex-Communist slammed Rand for her atheism and lack of charity and compassion. In “Big Sister Is Watching You,” Whittaker Chambers wrote that Atlas Shrugged substitutes “the Sign of the Dollar, in lieu of the Sign of the Cross,” presenting the “Randian Man” who, like “Marxian Man,” is at “the center of a godless world.” Chambers continues: “Out of a lifetime of reading, I can recall no other book in which a tone of overriding arrogance was so implacably sustained. Its shrillness is without reprieve. Its dogmatism is without appeal... From almost any page of Atlas Shrugged, a voice can be heard from painful necessity, commanding: ‘To a gas chamber—go!’ ”

Free will is consistent with absolute necessity; for it was necessary we should be free…
“She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love... That it should be done from necessity, not without exhausting all other options. That it should be done for people who need your strength because they don't have enough of their own.”
“I'm not going to pretend to know what's going on with you," he says. "But if you senselessly risk your life again -- " "I am not senselessly risking my life. I am trying to make sacrifices, like my parents would have, like -- " "You are not your parents You are a sixteen-year-old girl --" I grit my teeth. "How dare you -- " "-- who doesn't understand that the value of a sacrifice lies in its necessity, not in throwing your life away! And if you do that again, you and I are done.”
