“Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, men seek a noble vision of man’s nature and of life’s potential.”

--Ayn Rand, “The Fountainhead”

This noble sense of mankind in novelist/philosopher Ayn Rand’s work is a not-too-common line of thinking in the history of literature and thought. Perhaps it’s why some of the greatest heroes that ever graced the printed page are found in her masterworks “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged.” I am a big advocate of people maximizing their potential in life, and one way to do this is to see the world as a noble place where the achievement of values is indeed possible.
