This from a writer who was persecuted because she was a woman, jew and Russian.
"For centuries, the mystics of spirit had existed by running a protection racket - by making life on earth unbearable, then charging you for consolation and relief, by forbidding all the virtues that make existence possible, then riding on the shoulders of your guilt, by declaring production and joy to be sins, then collecting blackmail from the sinners." AYN RAND
Ayn Rand is usually 100% correct. Most people don't recognize the fact she traveled to the U.S. on her own from Russia, learned English as a second language, was a jew a free-thinker and became a best selling author in her second language. I would like to see Koan, gregoree and Brumar try a similar feat. |
