Ayn Rand. Atlas shrugged (№ 404546)

What do we need to understand to feel like Atlanteans? That you can't live a borrowed life, borrowed values. That you can and should change yourself, but never change yourself. That it is impossible to live for the sake of others or to demand that others live for you. That man is created for happiness, but one cannot be happy, neither guided by other people's ideas about happiness, nor at the expense of the unhappiness of others, nor at the expense of undeserved goods. You need to be responsible for your actions and their consequences. It is impossible to oppose morality and life, spiritual and material.
