"If you want my advice, Peter," he said at last, "you've made a mistake already. By asking me. By asking anyone. Never ask people. Not about your work. Don't you know what you want? How can you stand it, not to know?"
"Roark looked at the sketches, and even though he wanted to throw them at Keating's face and resign, one thought stopped him: the thought that it was a building and that he had to save it, as others could not pass a drowning man without leaping in to the rescue." (cutie pie)
"He studied Roark and the house with the same meticulous scrutiny; he felt as if he could not quite tell them apart."
"It was a war in which he was invited to fight nothing, yet he was pushed forward to fight, he had to fight, he had no choice - and no adversary." (the story of my life)
"Keating let himself be carried by the torrent. He needed the people and the clamor around him." (yeah)
"You know that I hate you, Roark. I hate you for what you are, for wanting you, for having to want you. I'm going to fight you-and I'm going to destroy you-and I tell you this as calmly as I told you that I'm a begging animal. I'm going to pray that you can't be destroyed-I tell you this, too-even though I believe in nothing and have nothing to pray to. But I will fight to block every step you take. I will fight to tear every chance you want away from you. I will hurt you through the only thing that can hurt you-through your work. I will fight to starve you, to strangle you on the things you won't be able to reach. I have done it to you to today-and that is why I shall sleep with you tonight." (This is pretty good. This is right)
"One can't love man without hating most of the creatures who pretend to bear his name." (Still Agree)
"She thought how strange it would be if she ever said 'Hello' to him; one did not greet oneself each morning." [bullshit]
"It was a contest without time, a struggle of two abstractions, the thing that had created the building against things that made the play possible-two forces, suddenly naked to her in their simple statement-two forces that had fought since the world began-and every religion had known of them-and there had always been a God and a Devil-only men had been so mistaken about the shapes of their Devil-he was not single and big, he was many and smutty and small."
"My work done my way. A private, personal, selfish, egotistical motivation. That's the only way I function. That's all I am." (I'm all for this now)
"Being with Howard is like being alone with myself, only more at peace." (I came to hate that sentence) |
