Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happine... - Ayn Rand

"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."

"The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities."

"Man is an end in himself."

"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."

"An inventor is a man who asks 'Why?' of the universe and lets nothing stand between the answer and his mind."
