“Dagny, it’s not that I don’t suffer, it’s that I know the unimportance of suffering, I know that pain is to be fought and thrown aside, not to be accepted as a part of one’s soul and as a permanent scar across one’s view of existence.”

--Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

John Galt, ftw.

Or did Francisco say that?

It was Galt. :P I fucking love this book. Thanks for reccommending it; I'm truly sorry (to myself) that it took me so long to get around to reading it.

Could you hook me up with the page number on that? I could use it for my personal essay. . .

Well, I have the 35th Anniversary Edition published in 1992. The quote is in Part III, chapter V ("Their Brothers' Keepers") and, in my edition, can be found on pages 959-960.
