If you want to know more about the woman who inspired me and numerous others to champion school choice there are now not one but two just released books on this incredible philosopher and novelist. Anne Heller wrote the first biography of Mrs. Rand independent of those closely associated with her. Next, Jennifer Burns of the University of Virginia came out with Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right.
Here's some inspiration to read these works from "Atlas Shrugged."
"He was seeing, in the nights behind him, Dagny's face in those moments when, his body leaving hers, she lay still with a look of radiance that was more than a smile, a look of youth, of early morning, of gratitude to the fact of one's own existence. And he was seeing Lillian's face, as he had seen it in bed beside him, a lifeless face with evasive eyes, with some feeble sneer on its lips and the look of sharing some smutty guilt. He saw who was the accuser and who the accused-he saw the obscenity of letting impotence hold itself as virtue and damn the power of living as a sin-he saw, with the clarity of direct perception, in the shock of a single instant, the terrible ugliness of that which had once been his own belief (530)."
