“I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle.”
— Ayn Rand“I am, therefore I'll think.”
— Ayn Rand“Every form of happiness if one, every desire is driven by the same motor--by our love for a single value, for the highest potentiality of our own existence--and every achievement is an expression of it.”
— Ayn Rand“The view that man was ever to be drawn by some vision of the unattainable shining ahead, doomed ever to aspire, but not to achieve, my life and my values could not bring me to that.”
— Ayn Rand“I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values.”
— Ayn Rand
