People are dying every day. In the lost time, we destroyed a part of ourselves. We change, we deny, we refute. We call it growth. It seems that there are no independent individuals, only a series of vassals who are in a daze among all beings. Can't even save a moment. source
The great thinkers you admire have taught you that the earth is flat and the atom is the smallest substance. The whole history of science is a process of constantly exposing fallacies, not what achievements have been made. Only the most ignorant people will believe that seeing is believing. What you see is the first thing to doubt.
In each generation, only a few people can fully understand and realize human talent, while the rest have betrayed it. But it doesn't matter. It is these people who push mankind forward and make life meaningful.
Unhappy people are so insensitive to pain.
6. A society that can't give full play to people's "value" is not a good society.
7. Most people's desires have no background, just like hanging the results in a misty nothingness, with any meaningful concepts hidden in the fog. They just say a short sentence, I hope I can cheer myself up, and then stay there and wait, as if the rest depends on some unknown force. What they avoid is the responsibility of judging the social field. Selfish virtue

9. Is sacrifice a virtue? Can a person sacrifice his integrity? Can you sacrifice his glory? Can he sacrifice his freedom, his ideals, his beliefs, his sincere feelings and his ideological independence?

1 1. You have always been an experience that I can never repeat in my life.
12. If you want to do things well, you must first like doing it, not the result. What matters is the job itself, not the people you work for. It is your own behavior, not any object that your love may involve. The object may change, so as long as you do it, you will not be disappointed and your goal will not be weak. source
13. Contradictions actually do not exist. Whenever you encounter contradictions, check your preconditions and you will find that one of them is wrong. Atlas shrugged his shoulders.
14. What you see is what you want to doubt. Atlas shrugged his shoulders.
15. You can't give the world to people you despise. source
16. I can teach you a trick, how to see through a person's character: people who curse money get money in a disgraceful way; People who respect money earn it by their own ability. Run away from those who tell you that money is evil. This is a wake-up call to tell you that a robber is close at hand. Atlas shrugged his shoulders.
17. Who will be the new intellectuals? Men and women willing to think. All those who understand that personal life must be guided by reason, and those who cherish their own lives, are therefore unwilling to submit the world to the rule of the dark ages and thugs, and are unwilling to worship despair in this modern cynical and nihilistic jungle. To new intellectuals
18. Only the most ignorant people will believe the old saying that seeing is believing. What you see is exactly what you should doubt first.
19. Anyone's cognition of the world is his own cognition. There is only one form of human depravity: no goal.
