Ayn Rand

Laxmikrsnan · Nov 28, 2016

Hi Ladies

It was surprising that this forum didn't yield result for a search about Ayn Rand. A lady author who stressed individuality to the level of a religion... Her Masterpieces .. We, the Living, Atlas Shrugged and Fountain Head.

Fountain Head is my all time favorite. Surprising that her book was written early in the twentieth century but the language is contemporaneous.

I like her quote from Atlas Shrugged... Contradictions do not exist, if they do... Check your premises

Shall try and post few excerpts in the forthcoming sessions..

I say that the fountainhead is like a bible to me! Absolutely love the book.
My favourite part or quotes in the book,

(1) my all time fav quote from Roark, " to say I love you one must first know how to say the I "
(2) Dominiques character , the most spirited female character in. A novel
(3) Roark and dominiques interaction with each other, that soulmate relationship
(4) the part where Dominique meets Roark just before her marriage to Wynad , beautifully written.

So many more, I can go on. already wannna read it again

I like the piece after Dominique returns after the play with Wynand home and realizes the other perspective of Wynand

The famous or should I say (in)famous EM Toohey's dialogue to Dominique after Stoddard Trial... "Had you been your old self, you'd tell me, at this point, that that is the psychology of a murderer who's committed the perfect crime and then confesses because he can't bear the idea that nobody knows it's a perfect crime..."
