The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.
More Quotes from Ayn Rand:
Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law.Ayn Rand
I want you to observe, that those who cry the loudest about their disillusionment, about the failure of virtue, the futility of reason, the impotence of logic are those who have achieved the full, exact, logical result of the ideas they preached, so mercilessly logical that they dare not identify it. In a world that proclaims the non-existence of the mind, the moral righteousness of rule by brute force, the penalizing of the competent in favour of the incompetent, the sacrifice of the best to the worst in such a world, the best have to turn against society and have to become it's deadliest enemies.
Ayn Rand
I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build.
Ayn Rand
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
Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind, and a step that travels unlimited roads
Ayn Rand
If you want to know the one reason that's taking me back, I'll tell you I cannot bring myself to abandon to destruction all the greatness of the world, all that which was mine and yours, which was made by us and is still ours by right because I cannot believe that men refuse to see, that they can remain blind and deaf to us forever, when the truth is ours and their lives depend on accepting it.... So long as men desire to live, I cannot lose my battle.
