Der Abend wechselt langsam die Gewänder,
die ihm ein Rand von alten Bäumen hält.

Slowly the evening changes into the clothes held for it by a row of ancient trees.

Abend (Evening) (as translated by Cliff Crego)Rainer Maria Rilke
» Rainer Maria Rilke - all quotes »
It did not go without notice that Ayn Rand stood beside me as I took the oath of office in the presence of President Ford in the Oval Office. Ayn Rand and I remained close until she died in 1982, and I'm grateful for the influence she had on my life. I was intellectually limited until I met her.
Alan Greenspan
[F]rom the initial outline Ayn Rand provided, a very rich and powerful philosophy emerges – e.g., it solves such problems as science versus free will and moral responsibility, knowledge versus the fact of fallibility. Merely because Rand’s ideas were not born in academe or developed in full detail by her, it cannot be concluded that they are unsound.
Ayn Rand
Ayn Rand is one of the most widely read philosophers of the twentieth century. … Academics have often dismissed her ideas as "pop" philosophy. As a best-selling novelist, a controversial, flamboyant polemicist, and a woman in a male dominated profession, Rand remained outside the academy throughout her life. Her works had inspired passionate responses that echo the uncompromising nature of her moral vision. In many cases, her audiences were either cultish in their devotion or savage in their attacks. The left was infuriated by her anticommunist, procapitalist politics, whereas the right was disgusted by her atheism and civil libertarianism.
Ayn Rand
Wenn man nur die Alten liest, ist man sicher, immer neu zu bleiben.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
Niemand ist so beflissen, immer neue Eindrücke zu sammeln, als derjenige, der die alten nicht zu verarbeiten versteht.
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
