Quotes from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

“Man has been called a rational being, but rationality is a matter of choice... Man has to be a man–by choice; he has to hold his life as a value–by choice; he has to learn to sustain it–by choice; he has to discover the values it requires and practice his virtues by choice. A code of values accepted by choice is a code of morality.”
— John Galt
Atlas Shrugged (Part 3, Chapter 7, Page 1,013)

Editor's Note: I've started a venture of my own that would not have come to exist had I not read Atlas Shrugged: Indie Aisle, for writers to tell their own stories that can inspire others the way Atlas Shrugged has inspired all of us.
