Greatest Quotes Ever

[John Galt]

Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received--hatred. The great creators--the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors--stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The first airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.

To say 'I love you' one must know first how to say the 'I.'

"Value" has no meaning other than in relationship to living beings. The value of a thing is always relative to a particular person, is completely personal and different in quantity for each living human?"market value" is a fiction, merely a rough guess at the average of personal values, all of which must be quantitatively different or trade would be impossible. [...] This very personal relationship, "value", has two factors for a human being: first, what he can do with a thing, its use to him? and second, what he must do to get it, its cost to him. There is an old song which asserts that "the best things in life are free". Not true! Utterly false! This was the tragic fallacy which brought on the decadence and collapse of the democracies of the twentieth century; those noble experiments failed because the people had been led to believe that they could simply vote for whatever they wanted? and get it, without toil, without sweat, without tears."

Correct morality can only be derived from what man is - not from what do-gooders and well-meaning aunt Nellies would like him to be.

"Given enough time for the generations to evolve, the predator produces particular survival adaptations in its prey which, through circular operation of feedback, produce changes in the predator which again change the prey- etcetera, etcetera. etcetera... Many powerful forces do the same thing. You can count religions among such forces."

-From the Stolen Journals of God Emperor Leto II in Frank Herbert's God Emperor of Dune.

I'm probably going to screw this quote up, so if anybody knows it fix it.

?War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

Me discussing sexuality with a male friend who had just gotten a new girlfriend:
"Male sexual response is more like Halo. Target acquired, shoot. Female sexual response is more like Myst. You sort of wander around not really sure what you are supposed to do, and then you go, 'I wonder what this does? - Oh hey! That was cool! What about this over here...'"


Pretend you're just being yourselves.
Pretend you live for a living.
Pretend that inside your skin you have a friend who's willing to give you everything you've ever wanted in exchange for all you've ever been.
Pretend you are more obsessed with this moment and less with the way it ends.
