Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead - quote

“How did you know what's been killing me? Slowly, for years,

 driving me to hate people when I don't want to hate... Have

 you felt it, too? Have you seen how your best friends love 

everything about you--except the things that count? And 

your 

most important is nothing to them, nothing, not even a 

sound 

they can recognize. You mean, you want to hear? You want 

to 

know what I do and why I do it, you want to know what I 

think? It's not boring to you? It's important?” 

― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
