"Life is achievement... Give yourself an aim, something you want to do, then go after it, breaking through everything, with nothing in mind but your aim, all will, all concentration, and get it." - Ayn Rand
The search for sources of Ayn Rand quotes goes on and he original question by DHallings got lost in the shuffle. So far I'm on page seven of Google references and have watched the Mike Wallace, Donahue interviews and the Last Speech in New Orleans. Nothing yet. found to possible sources to ask. No answer yet. If nothing else it was informative. Surprisingly the Lexicon has nothing. given the number of places it shows up I'm finding the quote sites all have one thing in common. Nothing is resourced.
It's a misquote but it is from Anthem Page 54 first page of Chapter three second paragraph "The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them.” – Ayn Rand.
