I see nothing offensive in the conception of fertilizer as the highest symbol of man’s destiny: it is fertilizer that produces wheat and roses.” “The worst folk song is superior to the best symphony.”<br />“A man braver than his brothers insults them by implication. Let us aspire to no virtue which cannot be shared.”<br />“I have yet to see a genius or a hero who, if stuck with a burning match, would feel less pain than his undistinguished average brother.”<br />“Genius is an exaggeration of dimension. So is elephantiasis. Both may be only a disease.”<br />“We are all brothers under the skin—and I, for one, would be willing to skin humanity to prove it.”<br /><br />(Excerpts from 'The Fountainhead', by Ayn Rand)<br /><br />Why does man suffer?<br />How to understand Toohey?<br />Why do we choose the easy path?<br /><br />Music Credits: Milind Date
