Ayn Rand

An artist reveals his naked soul in his work.

Ayn Rand

An attempt to achieve the good by force is like an attempt to provide a man with a picture gallery at the price of cutting out his eyes.

Ayn Rand

An emotion as much tells you nothing about reality, beyond the fact that something makes you feel something.

Ayn Rand

An individualist is a man who says: ‘I will not run anyone’s life – nor let anyone run mine. I will not rule or be ruled. I will not be a master nor a slave. I will not sacrifice myself to anyone – nor sacrifice anyone to myself.’

Ayn Rand

Any work is creative work if done by a thinking mind.

Ayn Rand

Anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today.

Ayn Rand

Ask anything of men. Ask them to achieve wealth, fame, love, brutality, murder, self-sacrifice. But don’t ask them to achieve self-respect. They will hate your soul.

Ayn Rand

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.

Ayn Rand

Because the beauty of the human body is that it hasn’t a single muscle which doesn’t serve its purpose; that there’s not a line wasted; that every detail of it fits one idea, the idea of a man and the life of a man.

Ayn Rand

Believing in fate produces fate. Believing in freedom will create infinite possibilities.
