Ayn Rand: Fountainhead

You will never be more than a dilettante of the intellect, unless you submerge yourself in some cause greater than youself.

Every lonliness is a pinnacle

Religion breeds selfishness. It preaches nothing but a single concern; the salvation of one's own soul.

To achieve absolute virtue one must be willing to take the foulest crimes upon his soul for the sake of his brothers.

Integrity.  The ability to stand by an idea.

Collectivism = selflessness. No motive and no virtue = kill individualism and mans soul.

"I'm not brave enough to be a coward. I see the consequences too clearly."  Ayn Rand
