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. -- Ayn Rand
Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values. -- Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation..'s troubles and use as a justification of its own demand for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the businessmen.
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
