My life and my work are devoted to my philosophy. It is a philosophy for living on earth. It is called Objectivism.

If a life can have a theme song and I believe that
every worthwhile one has mine is best expressed in one
word: Individualism.

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a
heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose
of his life, with productive achievement as his activity,
and reason as his only absolute.

Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an
upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that
travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out,
spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the
approximate, the not-quite, the not yet, the not-at-all.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely
frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been
able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your
battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is
possible, it's yours. - John Galt, protaganist of Atlas
Shrugged

...Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the
virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence of that which
is man: for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the
radiant certainty and the absolute recititude of knowing
that yours is the Morality of Life and that yours is the
battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any
goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth.
-John Galt, protaganist of Atlas Shrugged.

Any man worth his weight in Gold.
