Thoughts For The Day

 
Nothing so needs reforming as other people's habits.  Fanatics will never learn that, though it be written in letters of gold across the sky.

It is the prohibition that makes anything precious.
 
- Mark Twain



"If a life can have a theme song, and I believe every worthwhile one has, mine is a religion, an obsession, or a mania or all of these expressed in one word: individualism. I was born with that obsession and have never seen and do not know now a cause more worthy, more misunderstood, more seemingly hopeless and more tragically needed. Call it fate or irony, but I was born, of all countries on earth, in the one least suitable for a fanatic of individualism, Russia."

- Ayn Rand
