  • Politically, the goal of today’s dominant trend is statism. Philosophically, the goal is the obliteration of reason; psychologically, it is the erosion of ambition.

    Ayn Rand (1990). “The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought”, p.229, Penguin
  • The spread of evil is the symptom of a vacuum. Whenever evil wins, it is only by default: by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that there can be no compromise on basic principles.

    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.170, Penguin
  • I am only concerned with politics so I may see the day when I don't have to be concerned with politics.

  • Paper is a check drawn by legal looters upon an account which is not theirs: upon the virtue of the victims. Watch for the day when it bounces, marked: 'Account Overdrawn.'

    Ayn Rand (2016). “Atlas Shrugged”, p.316, Hamilton Books
  • It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (2005). “The Fountainhead”, p.677, Penguin
  • I am interested in politics so that one day I will not have to be interested in politics.

  • America's abundance was created not by public sacrifices to the common good, but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America's industrialization. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages, and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance- and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way.

    "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal". Book by Ayn Rand and Nathaniel Branden, 1966.
  • There are no little people in America. There are only people, equal before the law, yearning to breathe free and wanting to achieve the best within them.

  • Capitalism has been called nationalistic - yet it is the only system that banished ethnicity, and made it possible, in the United States, for men of various, formerly antagonistic nationalities to live together in peace.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1990). “The Voice of Reason: Essays in Objectivist Thought”, p.126, Penguin
  • We have only two sources of information about the character of the people around us: we judge them by what they do and by what they say (particularly the first).

    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.89, Penguin
  • Independence is the recognition of the fact that yours is the responsibility of judgement and nothing can help you escape it - that no substitute can do your thinking, as no pinch-hitter can live your life.

    Ayn Rand (1957). “Atlas Shrugged”
  • Whenever destroyers appear among men, they start by destroying money, for money is men's protection and the base of a moral existence. Destroyers seize gold and leave to its owners a counterfeit pile of paper. This kills all objective standards and delivers men into the arbitrary power of an arbitrary setter of values. Gold was an objective value, an equivalent of wealth produced. Paper is a mortgage on wealth that does not exist, backed by a gun aimed at those who are expected to produce it.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (2011). “Ayn Rand Novel Collection”, p.1448, Penguin
  • Socialism is the doctrine that man has no right to exist for his own sake, that his life and his work do not belong to him, but belong to society, that the only justification of his existence is his service to society, and that society may dispose of him in any way it pleases for the sake of whatever it deems to be its own tribal, collective good.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.465, Penguin
  • 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.'

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.231, Penguin
  • I can't compete and when I do, the rules of engagement change in the middle of the game. I'll let the powers that be vanquish themselves and return in three to five years to sift through the remains.

    Years  
  • The great creators - the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors - stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible... But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1999). “Ayn Rand Reader”, p.72, Penguin
  • Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.240, Penguin
  • Whoever claims the right to redistribute the wealth produced by others is claiming the right to treat human beings as chattel.

    Ayn Rand (1988). “The Ayn Rand Lexicon: Objectivism from A to Z”, p.219, Penguin
  • Rulers exist entirely through the persons of others. Their goal is in their subjects, in the activity of enslaving. They are as dependent as the beggar, the social worker and the bandit. The form of dependence does not matter.

    Ayn Rand (1999). “Ayn Rand Reader”, p.76, Penguin
  • The creator's concern is the conquest of nature. The parasite's concern is the conquest of men.

    Men  
    Ayn Rand (2011). “Ayn Rand Novel Collection”, p.875, Penguin
