The sky is like a black sieve pierced by silver drops that tremble, ready to burst through.

If one's actions are honest, one does not need the predated confidence of others.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Do not let your fire go out, s...

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

People think that a liar gains...

People think that a liar gains a victory over his victim. What I've learned is that a lie is an act of self-abdication, because one surrenders one's reality to the person to whom one lies, making that person one's master, condemning oneself from then on to faking the sort of reality that person's view requires to be faked The man who lies to the world, is the world's slave from then on There are no white lies, there is only the blackest of destruction, and a white lie is the blackest of all.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Why is it immoral for you to d...

Why is it immoral for you to desire, but moral for others to do so? Why is it immoral to produce a value and keep it, but moral to give it away? And if it is not moral for you to keep a value, why is it moral for others to accept it? If you are selfless and virtuous when you give it, are they not selfish and vicious when they take it?

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Every major horror of history ...

Every major horror of history was committed in the name of an altruistic motive. Has any act of selfishness ever equalled the carnage perpetrated by disciples of altruism.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Achievement of your happiness ...

Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

The smallest minority on earth...

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Government 'help' to business ...

Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

It only stands to reason that ...

It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Run for your life from any man...

Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.
