“It does not matter that only a few in each generation will grasp and achieve the full reality of man’s proper stature—and that the rest will betray it. It is those few that move the world and give life its meaning—and it is those few that I have always sought to address. The rest are no concern of mine; it is not me or The Fountainhead that they will betray: it is their own souls.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“A lesson in folly is worth two in wisdom.”
― Tom Stoppard, Arcadia

“Do not dabble in paradox, Edward, it puts you in danger of fortuitous wit.”
― Tom Stoppard, Arcadia

“People want nothing but mirrors around them. To reflect them while they’re reflecting too. You know, like the senseless infinity you get from two mirrors facing each other across a narrow passage. Usually in the more vulgar kind of hotels. Reflections of reflections and echoes of echoes. No beginning and no end. No center and no purpose.”
― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
