Fantastic Ayn Rand quotes for anyone who believes in Liberty.

btw, when you try to use big words, at least spell them right. It’s “replete” not “repleat.”

I’d like you to expound further on your “criticisms of Rand’s glaring, obvious logical weaknesses” if you wouldn’t mind.

Perhaps starting with any of these 20 quotes from her. Do you see anything wrong with the content of her quotes? Or is your post just an ad-hom on her because you don’t like her?

Bonus question: Is it possible to allow oneself to applaud someone whose message is powerful and correct even if you don’t happen to like that person personally?

You won't get much from the Rand-bashers but ad hominem. Pity.

Rand was a flawed, but truly great person. As influential as any writer in the last two hundred years. I can personally attest to the fact that her writings changed my life very positively.

Was she perfect? Does it matter? She had more impact on the world than her detractors could ever hope to have. But don't bother with them. It's not worth the effort.

Don't cast pearls before swine without getting even a pork chop in return.

By the way, one of my favorite Rand quotes goes something like "Civilization is the process of setting man free from men."

We see the profound truth of that in the consequences of our failure recognize it every day.
