Ayn Rand Quote
Aren’t they all acting on a selfish motive—to be noticed, liked, admired?—by others. At the price of their own self-respect. In the realm of greatest importance—the realm of values, of judgment, of spirit, of thought—they place others above self, in the exact manner which altruism demands. A truly selfish man cannot be affected by the approval of others. He doesn’t need it.
