Ayn Rand was an American novelist, philosopher, playwright, and screenwriter. She is known for her two best-selling novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she called Objectivism.
Quotes of Ayn Rand:
1. Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.
2. We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
3. The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.
4. Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.
5. Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.
6. I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
7. There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Ayn Rand
8. When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized.
9. To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that’s real power.
10. Do not ever say that the desire to ‘do good’ by force is a good motive. Neither power-lust nor stupidity are good motives.
