Ayn RandThe fortune my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.
Ayn RandWhether itโs a symphony or a coal mine, all work is an act of creating and comes from the same source: from an inviolate capacity to see through oneโs own eyes-which means: the capacity to perform a rational identification- which means: the capacity to see, to connect and to make what had not been seen, connected and made before.
