- That's it. I met the man I love and will love you always. I saw him, talked to him, but my he did not, perhaps never will be, and probably I'll never see.
I think I always knew that you will find it. I knew what feelings you harbored for me, I know how strong they are, but understand that this is not your final choice. What you give him is not taken away from me because I never had that. To rebel against it I can't. What I had, means a lot to me, and that I have had, cannot be changed.
- Hank, you want me to tell the truth? You will understand if I say that I will always love you?
- Dagny, I knew it before you did.
- I always saw you for who you are now. Saw your greatness, which you have only begun to realize. Don't talk about the atonement - you didn't hurt me, your mistakes came from impeccable integrity under the torture of an impossible moral code. And your fight against it did not bring me suffering, it brought me a sense, which I think is very rare: the rapture. If you'll accept it, it will be timeless. What you meant to me, cannot be changed. However, the man I met, is the love that I wanted to find long before I learned about its existence, and I think he will remain out of reach for me, but that I love him, will be enough to keep me alive.
Rearden took her hand and pressed it to his lips.
- Then you know what I feel, and why is still happy.

The woman and all the others like her avoid thoughts of good. You're pushing back away thoughts that are considered evil. They do so because they want to avoid effort. You - because I do not allow myself to accept favors. They indulge all their emotions. You sacrifice them at the first opportunity. They do not want to endure. Are you ready to endure all. They avoid responsibility. You take it on yourself. But don't you see, in fact, the error is the same? Each of your refusal to acknowledge reality will lead to dire consequences. No bad thoughts except one: the refusal to think. Don't neglect your own desires, Mr. Rearden. Don't sacrifice them. Learn their causes. There is a limit to what you can handle.

Money is the barometer of public virtue. When you see that trading is done not by consent, but by compulsion, when, in order to produce you must obtain permission from those people who produce nothing, when money is flowing to dealers not for goods, but for the advantages, when you see that men get richer for a bribe or through connections and not for work, and your laws do not protect you from them and them from you, when corruption is profitable, and honesty becomes self-sacrifice, know that your society is doomed. Money is a noble matter. Not opposed to weapons, is not opposed to violence.

But when society creates "criminals-by-right" and "thieves in law" who use force to seize the money, defenseless victims, then money becomes its creators avenger. Such burglars are confident in their safety when robbing defenseless people, the law will not disarm. But their loot becomes the magnet for other looters who take it. The race is not among the top producers, and among the most notorious thief. When power becomes the Supreme law, the murderer wins over the pocket thief. And then society vanishes in the darkness of the ruins and the carnage.

So you think that money is the root of all evil? And you wonder about what is the root of money?

He explained why an honest building, like an honest man must be himself, must be unified. This is the source of life, the meaning of the existence of any object or substance, and if even the slightest bit of change in this sense, the object or the creature dies. He explained that the good, the great and noble on earth can only be what contributes to the unity and integrity.

What can be done with one substance, it is impossible to do with the other. There are no two identical materials. There on the ground two identical places, no two buildings have the same value.

Making evil a condition of survival, you can't expect that people would remain good.

Tragic mockery, irony the history of mankind is that all people erect altars tormented people and animals deified. Humanity always worshiped, not human but animal, animal qualities - the idols of power and instinct, kings, and mystics who are looking exactly for the weak-willed, meek soul. To rule the world, mystics inspire people, that dark emotion above reason that knowledge comes blind, unmotivated jerks and he needs to follow the same blindly without putting his question. The kings ruled by fangs and claws, their method is to take away, their purpose - someone else, their strength relies solely on the baton and the gun.
The tragic joke of human history is that on any of the altars men erected, it was always man whom they were immolated and the animal whom they enshrined. It was always the animal's attributes, not man's, that humanity worshipped: the idol of instinct and the idol of force-the mystics and the kings-the mystics,
who longed for an irresponsible consciousness and ruled by means of the claim that their dark emotions were superior to reason, that knowledge came in blind, causeless fits, blindly to be followed, not doubted-and the kings, who ruled by means of claws and muscles, with conquest as their method and looting as their aim, with a club or a gun as sole sanction of their power.

Kira smiled. She knew that she was dying. But for her it no longer mattered. She learned what no man would tell her. She lived for years in anticipation of this life, believed in the possibility of its existence, and now felt from childhood she lived it. Life was, and it was only because she was, Kiera had no doubt that life is possible: In the heart she heard a silent hymn to my dream. A moment or an eternity - does it matter? Undefeated life exists and will exist.

It is clear that I will die. I understand. But I can't quite believe it. It's just weird. First life you think you are something very expensive and extremely beautiful like the sacred treasure. And now, when my life is on the wane, then there is no case. And most importantly - no one wants to understand what it means to me my life is my treasure and that it is something hidden that must be understood and evaluated. Frankly, I am not aware of all its values. We all need to figure something out, Kira. But what? What?
