Quotes from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
“She was seeing the brand of pain and fear on the faces of people, and the look of evasion that refuses to know it–they seemed to be going through the motions of some enormous pretense, acting out a ritual to ward off reality, letting the earth remain unseen and their lives unlived, in dread of something namelessly forbidden–yet the forbidden was the simple act of looking at the nature of their pain and questioning their duty to bear it.”
— Narrator (referring to Dagny Taggart)
Atlas Shrugged (Part 3, Chapter 3, Page 831)
