More Quotes from Ayn Rand:
Every loneliness is a pinnacleAyn Rand
She looked at the crowd and she felt, simultaneously, astonishment that they should stare at her, when this event was so personally her own that no communication about it was possible, and a sense of fitness that they should be here, that they should want to see it, because the sight of an achievement was the greatest gift a human being could offer to others.
Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand
