I enjoyed this quote. In a perfect society filled with perfect men and women such a place could exist. However if everyone had the ability to form truly rational thought and pursued their best interest many people would benefit. Don’t look at “Atlas Shrugged” as a blueprint for fashioning a society or government. Look upon it as a blueprint for forming your perspective. You can never stop the leechers nor keep government from trying to take your power for itself. The key is in identifying those key moments when you are asked to live for the sake of another human being. And in those moments, shrug.
