I take no pride in hopeless lo...

I take no pride in hopeless longing; I wouldn't hold a stillborn aspiration. I'd want to have it, to make it, to live it.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

The view that man was ever to ...

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 1072 quotes

I started my life with a singl...

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 1072 quotes

Many words have been granted m...

Many words have been granted me, and some are wise, and some are false, but only three are holy: 'I will it!

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

The fortune my spirit is not t...

The fortune my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

And here, over the portals of ...

And here, over the portals of my fort, I shall cut in the stone the word which is to be my beacon and my banner. The word which will not die should we all perish in battle. The word which can never die on this earth, for it is the heart of it and the meaning and the glory. The sacred word: EGO

Compromise now, because you'll have to later, anyway, only then you'll have gone through things you'll wish you hadn't.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Self respect is something that can't be killed. The worst thing is to kill a man's pretense at it.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

But you see,' said Roark quie...

But you see,' said Roark quietly, 'I have, let's say, sixty years to live. Most of that time will be spent working. I've chosen the work I want to do. If I find no joy in it, then I'm only condemning myself to sixty years of torture. And I can find the joy only if I do my work in the best way possible to me. But the best is a matter of standardsЂ'and I set my own standards. I inherit nothing. I stand at the end of no tradition. I may, perhaps, stand at the beginning of one.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

When I disagree with a rationa...

When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn; if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Why do they always teach us th...

Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.

Patience is always rewarded and romance is always round the corner!

and he said her name to fill the space of five years.

Guilt is a rope that wears thin.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Until and unless you discover ...

Until and unless you discover that money is the root of all good, you ask for your own destruction. When money ceases to become the means by which men deal with one another, then men become the tools of other men. Blood, whips and guns--or dollars. Take your choice--there is no other.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

ManЂ'every manЂ'is an end in h...

ManЂ'every manЂ'is an end in himself, not a means to the ends of others; he must live for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself; he must work for his rational self-interest, with the achievement of his own happiness as the highest moral purpose of his life.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

Pride is the recognition of the fact that you are your own highest value and, like all of man's values, it has to be earned.

Ayn Rand 1072 quotes

What is man? He's just a collection of chemicals with delusions of grandeur.

A viler evil than to murder a man, is to sell him suicide as an act of virtue.
