In Atlas Shrugged the following exchange took place between which two characters:
"If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders -- what would you tell him to do?"
"I don't know. What could he do? What would you tell him?"
"To shrug."

All can agree that, whatever else, her fiction and philosphical writings were all of a piece, and in keeping with them she famously wore a symbol of her basic position about her neck......What was it ?
