 ""Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?" |
| "Mediocrity" doesn't mean average intelligence, it means an average intelligence that resents and envies its betters |
| ...When you have established that one alternative is good and the other is evil, there is no justification for the choice of a mixture. There is no justification ever for choosing any part of what you know to be evil. |
| A building has integrity just like a man. And just as seldom. |
| A code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality |
| A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others |
| A culture is made -- or destroyed -- by its articulate voices. |
| A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving. |
| 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. |

| A house can have integrity, just like a person |
| A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books. |
| 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. |
