  • Top 25 Ayn Rand Quotes - Listverse

    I have news for you. Don't take this the wrong way, but Ayn Rand was a mediocre author of rather bland melodramatic fiction in which she used paper thin stock characters to forward her "philosophy" that is really nothing other than a Solipsistic ethical system thinly shrouded with Aristotle. Her completely over-the-top views on politics and philosophy was essentially an over-reaction to her childhood as she came of age in Soviet era Russia. Academia finds her 'work' laughable at best, but she says what a lot of college age kids want to hear; i.e. a philosophical rationalization for greed and selfishness. Hence the popularity, I guess. I wrote a few other choice words here about her most famous character "John Galt."
