3 quotes from The Virtue of Selfishness

"The question isn't whether we will be selfish, but whether we will exercise the virtue of rational self-interest and pursue our own happiness."
"To live for oneself means to act in accordance with one’s own values and to pursue one’s own happiness as a moral purpose."
"Selfishness is not a matter of sacrificing others for oneself, but rather a refusal to sacrifice oneself for others."

Author : Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand, a Russian-American novelist and philosopher, is best known for her founding of Objectivism, a philosophical system that emphasizes rational self-interest and individualism. Born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum in 1905 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, she witnessed the upheaval of the Bolshevik Revolution, which significantly influenced her views on collectivism and the role of government in society. After emigrating to the United States in 1926, Rand gained prominence through her novels, including "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged," which champion the rights of the individual against the constraints of society. Her work combines fiction with her philosophical ideas, advocating for a life guided by reason, purpose, and self-fulfillment. "The Virtue of Selfishness," one of her seminal works, encapsulates her belief that rational self-interest is essential for personal happiness and ethical living.
