“The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me.”
― Ayn Rand
― Ayn Rand
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swaps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”
― Ayn Rand
