In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death... - 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."

"When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is."

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."

"And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride. This god, this one word: 'I."

"Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential."
