More quotes by Ayn Rand

"The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles."
"Anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today."
"Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want."
"Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential."
"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."
