<p>“In this sense, everything to which you grant your love is yours.” - “The Fountainhead”, Ayn Rand</p>
<p>Yes, it’s Rand, but The Fountainhead is much more of an individualist/anti-Collectivist book than a strictly Objectivist one.</p>
<p>I was feeling good until I saw another Rander. Oh well.</p>

<p>“We embarked on our journey to the stars with a question, first framed in the childhood of our species, and in each generation asked anew with undiminished wonder: ‘What are the stars?’ Exploration is in our nature.

<p>I don’t know why but I love love love her writing in these books. The plotlines aren’t super complex but the writing moves me. I think it describes human relationships really well.</p>
