Some Favorite Ayn Rand Quotes...

Different perspectives are something I treasure.  Ayn had an amazing perspective on things...Enjoy!

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”


― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
 
“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”


― Ayn Rand
 
“The truth is not for all men but only for those who seek it.”


― Ayn Rand
 
“Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.”


― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
 
“Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them.”


― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged 
 
 “That love is reverence, and worship, and glory, and the upward glance. Not a bandage for dirty sores. But they don’t know it. Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones who’ve never felt it. They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, contempt, and general indifference, and they call it love. Once you’ve felt what it means to love as you and I know it – the total passion for the total height – you’re incapable of anything less.”


― Ayn Rand
 
“There’s nothing as significant as a human face. Nor as eloquent. We can never really know another person, except by our first glance at him. Because, in that glance, we know everything. Even thought we’re not always wise enough to unravel the knowledge.”


― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
