Like everything else Rand ever did, this was expressed better by other sources. Can we please stop quoting this hack [1]?

That post has no relevance. Ideas are what matter, not people.


So stop quoting Rand. Quote the ideas in their original and better articulated form.


That's not the way it works. I'll quote whoever I want, whenever I find their articulation of ideas interesting. It's intellectually bankrupt to ignore a person's ideas just because you don't like them.


Yes, please!

I get tired of quotes from fiction. Aren't there enough non-fiction quotes in the world that are much more relevant?
