Ayn Rand
“Well, I always know what I want. And when you know what you want--you go toward it. Sometimes you go very fast, and sometimes only an inch a year. Perhaps you feel happier when you go fast. I don't know. I've forgotten the difference long ago, because it really doesn't matter, so long as you move.”
Ayn Rand, We the Living

Rich DiSilvio
“Yielding to convention yields nothing new.”
Rich DiSilvio
