Quote by Laurence Galian

“Kelley also marked 1965 as a turning point for another profound reason. That year, he discovered the work of author Ayn Rand. She was a figure who embodied the inner fortitude he lacked. Her writings struck him with the force of lightning. Rand's fiercely armored heroes ignited a fierce resolve in Kelley. It was a fire that mere introspection could never spark. This was no longer a time for lingering in emotion. It demanded action. He abandoned drinking. He embraced a rigorous exercise regimen. He revolutionized his diet. He dropped twenty pounds.”
