Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand
I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. Particularly when one can't see the details. Just the shapes. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need?
Ayn Rand
Collectivism answers: The power of society is unlimited. Society may make any laws it wishes, and force them upon anyone in any manner it wishes.
Ayn Rand
There can be no compromise on basic principles. There can be no compromise on moral issues. There can be no compromise on matters of knowledge, of truth, of rational conviction.
Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand
When you force a man to act against his own choice and judgment, it's his thinking that you want him to suspend.
Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand
Love is our response to our highest values.
Ayn Rand
If parasitism, favoritism, corruption, and greed for the unearned did not exist, a mixed economy would bring them into existence.
Ayn Rand
It is my eyes which see, and the sight of my eyes grants beauty to the earth.
Ayn Rand
Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.
Ayn Rand
She knew that she could not have reached this white serenity except as the sum of all the colors, of all the violence she had known.
Ayn Rand
A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom.
Ayn Rand
