Ayn Rand Frases famosas
Criminals are a small minority in any age or country. And the harm they have done to mankind is infinitesimal when compared to the horrors-the bloodshed, the wars, the persecutions, the confiscations, the famines, the enslavements, the wholesale destructions-perpetrated by mankind’s governments. Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. When unlimited and unrestricted by individual rights, a government is men’s deadliest enemy.

Atlas Shrugged
Atlas Shrugged
“Olhe ao seu redor - disse ele.”
Uma cidade é a forma concretizada da coragem humana - a coragem dos homens que pensaram pela primeira vez em cada parafuso, cada rebite, cada gerador necessário para construí-la. A coragem de dizer não 'a meu ver', mas 'o fato é o seguinte', e apostar sua própria vida no seu julgamento. Você não está sozinha. Esses homens existem."
Atlas Shrugged

“Não era algo de mau desejar sem agir - ou caminhar sem objetivo?”

Ayn Rand: Frases em inglês

“Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism.”
The Virtue of Selfishness (1964)
Contexto: Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism. It is the notion of ascribing moral, social or political significance to a man's genetic lineage—the notion that a man's intellectual and characterological traits are produced and transmitted by his internal body chemistry. Which means, in practice, that a man is to be judged, not by his own character and actions, but by the characters and actions of a collective of ancestors.
Apollo and Dionysus (1969)
Contexto: [The hippies] were told that love - indiscriminate love for one's fellow man - is the highest virtue, and they obeyed. They were told that the merging of one's self with a herd, tribe, or community is the noblest way for a man to live, and they obeyed. There isn't a philosophical idea of today's establishment which they have not accepted, which they do not share. When they discovered this philosophy did not work, because in fact it cannot work, the hippies had neither the wit nor the courage to challenge it. They found, instead, an outlet for their impotent frustration by accusing their elders of hypocrisy, as if hypocrisy were the only obstacle to the realization of their dreams. And, left blindly, helplessly lobotomized in the face of an inexplicable reality that is not amenable to their feelings, they have no recourse but the shouting of obscenities at anything that frustrates their whims; at man, or at the rainy sky, indiscriminately, with no concept of the difference. It is typical of today's culture that the proponents of seething, raging hostility are taken as advocates of love.
