These are the top ten (my ten favorite) quotes said by philosophers Ayn Rand and Friedrich Nietzsche:
1. "How can you return to me if you do not leave me?" - Nietzsche
2. "Build it as a monument to that spirit which is yours . . . and could have been mine." - Rand
3. "Sometimes, when you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you." - Nietzsche
4. "Insist on it." - Rand
5. "God is dead, and we are the ones who killed Him." - Nietzsche
6. "Are you happy, Mr. Superman?" - Rand (Yes, this is Rand, not Nietzsche - she is referring to him. It's one of my favorite lines from The Fountainhead.)
7. "I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." - Rand
8. "A philosopher must always be forgiven for his first followers." - Nietzsche
9. "It's the soul, Peter, the soul, not whips or swords or fire or guns." - Rand
10. "He didn't want to make money, only to get it." - Rand
