We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
-Ayn Rand
When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.
-Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?
-Ayn Rand
The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
-Ayn Rand
If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject.

Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.
– Ayn Rand

– Ayn Rand, Anthem
Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.
– Ayn Rand

-Ayn Rand, The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism
“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”
-Ayn Rand
“Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.”
-Ayn Rand
“The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.”
-Ayn Rand
“Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them.”
-Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
To say ‘I love you’ one must first be able to say the ‘I.’
-Ayn Rand |
