De quem é sua vida?

“I believe – and I want to gather all the facts to illustrate this – that the worst curse on mankind is the ability to consider ideals as something quite abstract and detached from one`s everyday life. The ability of living and thinking quite differently, in other words eliminating thinking from your actual life. This applied not to deliberate and conscious hypocrites, but to those more dangerous and hopeless ones who, alone with themselves and to themselves, tolerate a complete break between their convictions and their lives, and still believe that they have convictions. To them – either their ideals or their lives are worthless – and usually both.” Ayn Rand, em Atlas Shrugged
