"In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win.
In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.
In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the
compromiser is the transmitting rubber tube."
- Ayn Rand, John Galt Speech, Atlas
Shrugged.
"The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to
enjoy yourself and live."
- Ayn Rand, John Galt Speech, Atlas
Shrugged.
Ayn Rand
Novelist-Philosopher
1905-1982
There are two sides to every issue: one side
is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
- Ayn Rand, John Galt Speech, Atlas
Shrugged.
“Ask yourself whether the
dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves
- or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth”
- Ayn Rand,
Atlas
Shrugged
"They
have no answer to give to those voices out of the Dark Ages who
gloat that reason and freedom have had their chance and have failed,
and that the future, like the long night of the past, belongs once
more to faith and force."
- Ayn Rand,
For the New Intellectual
"The
uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of
tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dint of constant
pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until one
day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official
ideology."
- Ayn Rand,
Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal
