Have you ever felt the longing for someone you could admire?... - Ayn Rand

"The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity."

"Man is an end in himself."

"The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it."

"I can accept anything, except what seems to be the easiest for most people: the half-way, the almost, the just-about, the in-between."

"An attempt to achieve the good by force is like an attempt to provide a man with a picture gallery at the price of cutting out his eyes."
