Leitmotif

Reason as the Leading Motive

A Quote for a Lifetime

Posted by Jerry on March 5, 2006

"You see, I'm an atheist. And I have only one religion; the sublime in human nature. There is nothing to approach the sanctity of the highest man possible, and there is nothing that gives me the same reverent feeling, the feeling when one's spirit wants to kneel bareheaded… do not call it hero-worship, because it is more than that. It is a kind of strange and improbable white heat, where admiration becomes religion and religion becomes philosophy and philosophy, the whole of one's life."

– Ayn Rand
