Ayn RandPoverty is not a mortgage on the labor of others-misfortu ne is not a mortgage on achievement-fai lure is not a mortgage on success-sufferi ng is not a claim check, and its relief is not the goal of existence-man is not a sacrificial animal on anyoneโs altar nor for anyoneโs cause-life is not one huge hospital.
