Was thinking about Ayn Rand the other day - one of my "if you could share a meal or have some time to talk with a person from any time period in history, who would that person be?" list. She is right there at the top -- along with Joseph Campbell. Anyway ... how are these Rand quotations for food for thought?
The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me?
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.
The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody had decided not to see.
Second question. Excluding beloved family and friends, who are on a most special list of their very own, who would be at the top of your list if you could have dinner with a person from any time period in history?

By the way -- this blog is now being viewed each week by over 1000 individuals in Hong Kong and a growing number in mainland China. It would be wonderful to know how they found me. Just sayin'.
Also -- a Thank You to everyone who reads From Pencil Box to Keyboard.
