The fountainhead

All men are corrupt, anyone can be bought (...)

There is no honest way to deal with people
We have no choice except to submit or to rule them
I choose to rule. (Gail Wynand)


A building must have integrity, just like a man (...)
It must be true to its own idea, have its own form, serve its purpose
(Howard Roark)


Why don't you laugh at me now, you won.
I've no pride left to stop me.
I love you without dignity, without regret.
(Dominique Francon)


They hate you for the greatness of your achievement.
They hate you for your integrity.
They hate you because they know they can neither corrupt you nor rule you.
They will destroy you.
(Dominique Francon)


You must learn not to be afraid of the world, not to take any notice of it.
(...) They won't destroy me.
(Howard Roark)



To get things done, you must love the doing, not the people.
(...) My reward, my purpose, my life is the work itself.
My work done my way. Nothing else matters to me.
(...) You'll get everything that society can give you...
Take the money, the fame and the gratitude...
And I'll get something that nobody can give a man except himself.
(Howard Roark)
