Ayn Rand - Atlas shrugged

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."

e.e Cummings Quote

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night

and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle

which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

e. e. cummings
