The Fountainhead

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

• "I dont build in order to have clients; I have clients in order to build." [Howard Roark]

• "You’ll get everything society can give a man. You’ll keep all the money. You’ll take any fame or honor anyone might want to grant. You’ll accept such gratitude as the tenants might feel. And I--I’ll take what nobody can give a man, except himself. I will have built Cortlandt." - "You’re getting more than I am, Howard."

• This is pity, he thought, and then he lifted his head in wonder. He thought that there must be something terribly wrong with a world in which this monstrous feeling is called a virtue.

• "Mr. Roark, we’re alone here. Why don’t you tell me what you think of me? In any words you wish. No one will hear us." - "But I don’t think of you."

• "A building has integrity, just like a man; and just as seldom." [Howard Roark]

• "Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own

vision." [Howard Roark]
