Anthem

  1. "I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the
    universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know
    not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me
    on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it.
    My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is
    its own goal. It is its own purpose. "


    "I do not surrender my treasures, nor do I share them. The fortune
    of 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."

    Just read Anthem, by Ayn Rand, and I have to say DAMN its a powerful book. So much thought on so many issues in such a short book.
