"Don't ever get angry at a man for stating the truth."

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
She was twelve years old when she told Eddie Willers that she would run the railroad when they grew up. She was fifteen when it occurred to her for the first time that women did not run railroads and that people might object. To hell with that, she thought-and never worried about it again.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth.

Anthem by Ayn Rand
Whatever road I take, the guiding star is within me; the guiding star and the loadstone which point the way. They point in but one direction. They point to me.

Anthem by Ayn Rand
I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction.
