Ayn Rand

Who is Ayn Rand?

05.08.2001

Online for the first time. Native speaker wanted for the editing of this web site (which basically is a translation of The German Ayn Rand Site). 

“In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst.

 

In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved this title.

 

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 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 real, it is possible, it’s yours. 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 rectitude 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
