安·兰德名言集粹？ Ayn Rand Quotes A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving. 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. Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death. Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves - or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth. Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men. Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong. Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice. I don't build in order to have clients. I have clients in order to build. 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. Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law. Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another. Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. Money is the barometer of a society's virtue. Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone. So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money? The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live. The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it. The worst guilt is to accept an unearned guilt. There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. To say "I love you" one must first be able to say the "I." Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future. Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think. When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is. 查看更多2个回答 . 2人已关注
