  1. Ayn Rand's story of Howard Roark, a brilliant architect who dares to stand alone against the hostility of second-hand souls. First published in 1943, this best-selling novel is a passionate defense of individualism and presents an exalted view of man's creative potential.

  2. Ayn Rand (1905-1982) “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 noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."   —Ayn Rand

  3. “It does not matter that in each generation only a few will grasp & achieve the full reality of man’s proper stature & that the rest will betray it. It is those few who move the world & give life its meaning & it is those few that I have always sought to address.The rest are no concern of mine, it is not me or The Fountainhead that they will betray: Its their own soul.” –Ayn Rand

  4. Why? “Every man creates his meaning & form & goal.Why is it so important-what others have done?Why does it become sacred by the mere fact of not being your own?Why is anyone or everyone right-so long as its not yourself?Why is truth made a mere matter of arithmetic & only of addition at that?Why is everything twisted out of all sense to fit everything else?There must be some reason.I don’t know.I’ve never known it.I’d like to understand.” –Howard Roark.

  5. A Conviction “I stand at the end of no tradition,I may perhaps stand at the beginning of one” - Howard Roark
