Quote by Ayn Rand

“Only producers constitute a market - only men who trade products and services for products and services. In the role of producers, they represent a market’s supply; in the role of consumers, they represent a market’s demand. The law of supply and demand has an implicit subclause: that it involves the same people in both capacities. When this subclause is forgotten, ignored or evaded - you get the economic situation of today. The man who consumes without producing is a parasite, whether is a welfare recipient or a rich playboy”

“Needless to say, Robbie and I confiscated all of the magazines, which we then quickly hid under our beds, and replaced the Playboys with nature magazines. So next time dad wants to drool over Marcy Hanson, or Debbie Davis, he’s going to find Ranger Rick and Canadian Geographic instead. Best of all he can’t complain to mom about it, as she would kill him for having the Playboys in the first place. However, he can’t get mad at us either, or we’ll simply tell mom about what we found.”

“Im Jahr 1970 noch protestierten Feministinnen gegen die Vergegenständlichung von Frauen in mondänen pornographischen Männermagazinen wir dem Playboy. Jetzt konzentriert sich der organisierte Protest gegen die Verwendung von Kindern und die Porträtierung von Gewalt in der Pornographie. Die Forderung, Frauen nicht als Sexualobjekte darzustellen, wird als übertrieben und hysterisch abgetan. Eine Toleranz wird geschaffen, wenn eine Stufe von Missbrauch (z.B. sexuelle Vergegenständlichung) in Anbetracht höherer Stufen der Vergegenständlichung und schwerwiegenderer Formen von Gewalt gerechtfertigt wird”

“Still afraid of people, are you?" "Never afraid, Grand-mère, only distrusting. Have you ever had your face on the internet with the headline 'American Royalty Does the Director's Daughter' touting your previous night's adventure?" Cleo was glad neither of the Tremblays was looking at her. A hot blush covered her face at how cavalier Deacon was about his past escapades, not to mention his choice of words. Virgie gave a little snort. "No, because I never fooled around. In my day, we remained faithful for the sake of appearances, if not morality." "Mmm, good advice, but a tad too late for me, Grand-mère," Deacon said. Cleo's cheeks were blazing hot now. She studied the water in her glass as if it were a fascinating exhibit at an art museum.”
