"YOU HAVE DESTROYED ALL THAT WHICH YOU HELD TO BE EVIL AND ACHIEVED ALL THAT WHICH YOU HELD TO BE GOOD. WHY, THEN, DO YOU SHRINK IN HORROR FROM THE SIGHT OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU? THAT WORLD IS NOT THE PRODUCT OF YOUR SINS; IT IS THE PRODUCT AND THE IMAGE OF YOUR VIRTUES. IT IS YOUR MORAL IDEAL BROUGHT INTO REALITY IN ITS FULL AND FINAL PERFECTION. YOU HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, YOU HAVE DREAMED OF IT, AND YOU HAVE WISHED IT, AND I-I AM THE MAN WHO HAS GRANTED YOU YOUR WISH." ATLAS SHRUGGER (1957)
