Quote from book

“He's the looter who thinks that his end justifies his seizure of my means.” For some reason, this quote has been my favorite for years. Hopefully it makes it into the movie (Part 3).
"Those looters seize my property and think that their end justifies stealing my means."
Others??

"I didn't know which side you belonged on. It didn't seem possible—but it's the side of Orren Boyle and Bertram Scudder and your old teacher."
"My old teacher?" he asked sharply.
"Dr. Robert Stadler."
He chuckled, relieved. "Oh, that one? He's the looter who thinks that his end justifies his seizure of my means." He added, "You know, Dagny, I'd like you to remember which side you said I'm on. Some day, I'll remind you of it and ask you whether you'll want to repeat it."
This is something I could imagine actually saying. You?
