“Anyone who fights for the future, lives in it today.” - Ayn Rand

I could die for you. But I couldn't, and wouldn't, live for you.

I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.

Live and act within the limit of your knowledge and keep expanding it to the limit of your life.

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps 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.

Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want.
