Ayn Rand:

"Held that Art is A

"Recreation of reality according to an artists

metaphysical value-judgments."

It does not require or tolerate an explanatory preface.

It is a self-contained universe

Aloof from Commentary,

Beckoning the reader, (viewer, listener,...) to

Enter, Perceive, Respond."

- Leonard Peikoff, Introduction in Atlas Shrugged

Second Handers

"Notice how they'll accept anything except a man who stands alone. They recognize him at once . . .

There's a special insidious kind of hatred for him. They forgive criminals. They admire dictators. Crime and violence are a tie. A form of mutual dependence.

They need ties. They've got to force their miserable little personalities on every single person they meet.

The independent man kills them - because they don't exist within him and that's the only form of existence they know. Notice the malignant kind of resentment against any idea that propounds independence.

Notice the malice toward an independent man."

- Ayn Rand Lexicon
