Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity, but your talent to their reason.Ayn Rand
She can live through it, because we do not hold the belief that this earth is a realm of misery where man is doomed to destruction. We do not think that tragedy is our natural fate and we do not live in chronic dread of disaster.

It is not success, but calamity that we regard as the abnormal exception in human life.
Ayn Rand
