Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps
of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul

reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's
yours.

I don't like work--no man does--but I like what is in the work--the chance to
find yourself. Your own reality--for yourself not for others--what no other man
can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it
really means.

What is the point of worrying oneself too much about what one could or could
not have done to control the course one's life took? Surely it is enough that the
likes of you and I at least try to make our small contribution count for
something true and worthy. And if some of us are prepared to sacrifice much in
life in order to pursue such aspirations, surely that in itself, whatever the
outcome, cause for pride and contentment.
