Quotes:

Barbara: I didn't know you were an actor.::Frank: Neither did anyone else in Hollywood.

Frank: [talking about Ayn] She had a typewriter, a Remington Rand, crazy about movies. Came right up to me and said 'you are the embodiment of my ideal man'. I never had a chance.

Ayn Rand: Love is a command to rise to one's highest potential, the best and noblest vision of ourselves. Love is a reward, the greatest we can earn, granted to us for the moral qualities we have achieved in our lives.

Ayn Rand: Tell me your principles.::Nathaniel Branden: To think for myself. To reach my own conclusions. To seek truth, wherever it might lead.

Nathaniel Branden: I feel as if... as if my whole life I've been on a leaky raft in the middle of the ocean and, and as soon as I cover one leak with my foot, there's another and...::Barbara: [Interrupting] Yes, alone and sinking.::Nathaniel Branden: Yes, but after tonight, I think... it's possible to stand on solid ground, to understand, to really know.

Ayn Rand: You respect his intellect?::Barbara: Very much.::Ayn Rand: You share the same principles?::Barbara: Absolutely.::Ayn Rand: You accept that emotion ultimately derives from the thinking one has done, or has failed to do?::Barbara: I do.::Ayn Rand: Then there is only one possible conclusion. Nate is your ideal man.

Caroline: I know I still care what other people think. I know I am guilty of social metaphysics. And I know my wish to correct my thinking comes from a desire to please Nathan, who I respect tremendously. And I know that that desire is very, very, very, very wrong.

Caroline: I do not exist for other people. I must not rely on other people. I must... identify the origins of my emotions. I must establish a rational... I can't.::Nathaniel Branden: Can't what?::Caroline: I can't stop thinking about you.

Wise-ass Man: Excuse me, Miss Rand. I was wondering if you could give us the essence of your philosophy - standing on one leg.::1st Supporter: Go on!::2nd Supporter: Sit down!::Ayn Rand: [Stands on one leg] Metaphysics: objective reality. Epistemology: reason. Ethics: self-interest. Politics: capitalism.

Famous quotes by Ayn Rand:

"Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death."

"A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others"

"Why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? It's the hardest thing in the world--to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage. I mean, what we really want."

"The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see."

"To say 'I love you' one must first be able to say the 'I.'"

"The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live."

"To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that's real power."

"The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it."

"The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me."

"From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man -- the function of his reasoning mind."

"Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone."

"Individual rights are the means of subordinating society to moral law."

"Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men's stupidity, but your talent to their reason."

"The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity."

"Upper classes are a nation's past; the middle class is its future."

"There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil."

"So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?"

"If any civilization is to survive, it is the morality of altruism that men have to reject."

"Just as man can't exist without his body, so no rights can exist without the right to translate one's rights into reality, to think, to work and keep the results, which means: the right of property."

"Civilization is the progress toward a society of privacy. The savage's whole existence is public, ruled by the laws of his tribe. Civilization is the process of setting man free from men."

Nathaniel Branden (born April 9, 1930) is an American psychotherapist and writer known for his work in the psychology of self-esteem. A former associate and romantic partner of Ayn Rand, Branden also played a prominent role in the 1960s in promoting Rand's philosophy, Objectivism. Rand and Branden split acrimoniously in 1968, after which Branden focused on developing his own psychological theory and mode of therapy. Branden married Barbara Weidman in 1953, with Rand and Rand's husband Frank O'Connor in attendance. Branden would later state the marriage was unwise, and troubled from the beginning. In the context of these troubles, and Rand's reported frustrations in her own marriage, Branden and Rand—who had a passionate philosophic bond—developed amorous feelings for each other, and, with the reluctant permission of their spouses, began a love affair in 1954.[20][19] The affair lasted until the publication of Atlas Shrugged in 1957, after which, according to Branden, Rand became depressed, and the affair, practically speaking, ended.[19] Branden reports that Rand remained psychologically dependent on him after this period, and eventually began pushing for a resumption of their affair; his own marriage, meanwhile, was deteriorating, although he and Barbara were becoming closer as friends.[19] Branden then met and fell in love with a student at NBI, Patrecia Scott (née Gullison). The two began an affair in 1964, shortly after which Nathaniel separated from Barbara and informed her of the affair.[21] He and Barbara kept the affair secret, fearing Rand's explosive anger.[22] In 1968, Rand learned of the affair, and, in response, violently condemned both Brandens, dissociated herself from them, and denounced them publicly.[23][24] Branden at this point moved to California with Patrecia; the two married in November 1969.[25] In March 1977, Patrecia died in a freak drowning accident, falling into a pool after presumably suffering a mild epileptic seizure.[26] After a period of mourning, Branden married businesswoman (and later psychotherapist) Estelle Devers in December 1978.[27] The two later divorced, though they remained friends.[28] Branden subsequently married Leigh Horton.[29] Branden retained a relationship—sometimes friendly, sometimes acrimonious—with his first wife, Barbara, who wrote a successful book, The Passion of Ayn Rand, which detailed Branden's relationship with Rand and the bitter breakup. The book was made into a motion picture in 1999 titled The Passion of Ayn Rand, starring Helen Mirren as Rand and Eric Stoltz as Branden.[30] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathaniel_Branden Judgment Day: My Years with Ayn Rand is a memoir by Nathaniel Branden that focuses on his relationship with his former mentor and lover, Ayn Rand. It was originally published in 1989, and Branden released a revised version, retitled as My Years with Ayn Rand, in 1999. In a review for The New York Times, Susan Brownmiller said the memoir was "an embarrassing venture" that included "a massive dose of psychobabble".[1] In a review for National Review, Joseph Sobran described Branden as having "a layer of California psychobabble" and said, "At times he is rough on himself, but not nearly rough enough."[2] A review in The (Toledo) Blade said the book offered "interesting glimpses of Ayn Rand and her life", but also said, "It is noticeable that in most situations Branden emerges on the side of right, or at least lesser evil."[3] Liberty magazine editor R. W. Bradford called the book a "valuable work" that "provides hitherto unpublished details" about Branden's relationship with Rand, but said it provided an "unflattering self-portrait" of Branden that made Bradford more sympathetic towards Rand. He also complained that Branden's discussions of his former associates in the Objectivist movement sometimes showed "cruelty" and "contempt" toward them.[4] The book was also reviewed in such publications as the Los Angeles Times,[5] The Washington Post,[6] Chronicles, and Kirkus Reviews. In the 1999 revised edition, Branden says he updated the book both to add and remove material, as well as to correct "factual errors" and "unintended and misleading implications" from the first edition. He also hoped "to present a more balanced portrait of certain people with whom my relationships were at times adversarial." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Years_with_Ayn_Rand

Rand was born Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum (Russian: Али́са Зиновьевна Розенбаум) on February 2, 1905, to a Russian Jewish bourgeois family living in Saint Petersburg. She was the eldest of the three daughters of Zinovy Zakharovich Rosenbaum and his wife, Anna Borisovna (née Kaplan), largely non-observant Jews. Zinovy Rosenbaum was a successful pharmacist and businessman, eventually owning a pharmacy and the building in which it was located. With a passion for the liberal arts, Rand found school unchallenging, and said she began writing screenplays at the age of eight and novels at the age of ten. At the prestigious Stoiunina Gymnasium, her closest friend was Vladimir Nabokov's younger sister, Olga. The two girls shared an intense interest in politics, and would engage in debates: while Olga Nabokov defended constitutional monarchy, Alisa always supported republican ideals.[14][15] She was twelve at the time of the February Revolution of 1917, during which she favored Alexander Kerensky over Tsar Nicholas II. The subsequent October Revolution and the rule of the Bolsheviks under Vladimir Lenin disrupted the comfortable life the family had previously enjoyed. Her father's business was confiscated and the family displaced. They fled to the Crimean Peninsula, which was initially under control of the White Army during the Russian Civil War. She later recalled that, while in high school, she determined that she was an atheist and that she valued reason above any other human virtue. After graduating from high school in the Crimea at 16, Rand returned with her family to Petrograd (as Saint Petersburg was renamed at that time), where they faced desperate conditions, on occasion nearly starving.[16][17] After the Russian Revolution, universities were opened to women, allowing Rand to be in the first group of women to enroll at Petrograd State University,[18] where, at the age of only 16, she began her studies in the department of social pedagogy, majoring in history.[19] At the university she was introduced to the writings of Aristotle and Plato,[20] who would be her greatest influence and counter-influence, respectively.[21] A third figure whose philosophical works she studied heavily was Friedrich Nietzsche.[22] Able to read French, German and Russian, Rand also discovered the writers Fyodor Dostoevsky, Victor Hugo, Edmond Rostand, and Friedrich Schiller, who became her perennial favorites.[23] Along with many other "bourgeois" students, Rand was purged from the university shortly before graduating. However, after complaints from a group of visiting foreign scientists, many of the purged students were allowed to complete their work and graduate,[24] which Rand did in October 1924.[25] She subsequently studied for a year at the State Technicum for Screen Arts in Leningrad. For one of her assignments, she wrote an essay about the Polish actress Pola Negri, which became her first published work.[26] By this time she had decided her professional surname for writing would be Rand,[27] possibly as a Cyrillic contraction of her birth surname,[28] and she adopted the first name Ayn, either from a Finnish name or from the Hebrew word עין (ayin, meaning "eye").[29] In the fall of 1925, Rand was granted a visa to visit American relatives. She departed on January 17, 1926.[30] When she arrived in New York City on February 19, 1926, she was so impressed with the skyline of Manhattan that she cried what she later called "tears of splendor".[31] Intent on staying in the United States to become a screenwriter, she lived for a few months with relatives in Chicago, one of whom owned a movie theater and allowed her to watch dozens of films for free. She then set out for Hollywood, California.[32] Initially, Rand struggled in Hollywood and took odd jobs to pay her basic living expenses. A chance meeting with famed director Cecil B. DeMille led to a job as an extra in his film The King of Kings as well as subsequent work as a junior screenwriter.[33] While working on The King of Kings, she met an aspiring young actor, Frank O'Connor; the two were married on April 15, 1929. Rand became an American citizen in 1931. Taking various jobs during the 1930s to support her writing, she worked for a time as the head of the costume department at RKO Studios.[34] She made several attempts to bring her parents and sisters to the United States, but they were unable to acquire permission to emigrate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayn_rand

Top Jenn Grant, In A Brown House

The finale was over She laced up her boots And she walked out the doorway But you were still waiting For the encore And you're under a big yellow moon And she's still in the band room
But meanwhile the baby is born With a brother just two years old
Two curly brown-haired boys In a brown house with their mother In a brown house with their father Who could have loved you more? How's that for the encore?
The finale was over She laced up her boots And she walked out the doorway But someday you'll find her Singing for two little boys
Two curly brown-haired boys In a brown house with their mother In a brown house with their father Who could have loved you more?
Who could have loved you more? Who could have loved you more? Who could have loved you more?

Top Jenn Grant, White Horses

All the white horses have gone I see them running through the dust at dawn All the white clouds have gone and parted I see a sunset like something's been started
A Lightning bolt hits the cheek of your skin And I feel a tremble from the audience And the sun is rising Somewhere in the east Remember what I told you I was fighting for peace
But everybody Is making love for you For you For you
For you For you For you For you

Top Jenn Grant, Oh My Heart

You look like a movie star from this angle
Oh tell me I've got my bangles on
I can dance and dance while the band plays on
Oh you took me by surprise
White coat in arms and sweet lullabies
[Chorus:]
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
Oh my heart
Oh my heart (2x)
Well I've got something that can be wasted
So tell me all your dreams and lets get wasted
Oh you took me by the nile
We made a bed of grass and layed there for a while
[Repeat Chorus:]
You look like a movie star from this angle
Oh tell me I've got my bangles on
I can dance and dance while the band plays on
Oh you took me by surprise
White coat in arms and sweet lullabies
Chorus
You buy me
You buy me your love
You buy me
You buy me your love x2

Top Jenn Grant, Unique New York

The car is parked outside your front door But you don't even travel for an hour anymore Since you learned to fly From your apartment window It's nearby
And for now This is all you'll ever be For now it's better Than something you had in-between For now this is all you'll ever need And I'll be waiting at the shoreline For you hopefully
And lately I've noticed that You haven't been around And I guess it must be cozy On the other side of town 'Cause you take the ferry boat ride Waiting for the moment there When someone will arrive and sing
And when you feel that It's quittin' time Just look up And see the sun is on the rise And move on Move on
