ayn rand

-every man creates his meaning
-emphasizing the harmony of the steel skeleton within, as a body reveals the perfection of its bones
-imitators copy imitations
-the eyes were dark, young, living
-no such thing as free will, since man's creative impulses were determined, as all else, by the economic structure of the epoch in which they lived
-they are not to assert their little egos, but to express the soul of their country and the rhythm of their time
-"Vox populi"
-a face one could never remember...gently hopeless
-marriage is old fashioned, an economic device to perpetuate the institution of private property
-he had to choke the knowledge, he had to kill the vision
-the public taste and te public heart are the final criteria of the artist. the genius is the one who knows how to express the general
-a kind of sub-reality, unsubstantial incidents in the path of a substance they could not reach or touch
