Today I thought of Rand again!

I read something while at work today and it reminded me of Ayn Rand…

I realized that no other author has gathered enough grit and confidence to write that we are selfish and being selfish is not a crime. I remembered how I loved these from her books:

“I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I’ll never live for the sake of other man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”

And I also went through her book to find another excerpt which I have loved dearly:

When you see a man casting pearls without getting pork chops in return – it is not against the swine that you feel indignation. It is against the man who valued his pearls so little that he was ready to fling them into the muck and let them become the occasion for a whole concert of grunting.

Happy reading to Rand’s fans!
