Ayn Ran's Religion

"People tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pest-hole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel."
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

The New York Skyline

"I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline."
Ayn Rand, Fountainhead
