Art Reality Judgment

More From Ayn Rand

Modernity is a desert, and we are jungle monkeys. and so new evolutionary selective pressures are coming to bear upon the human situation, new ideas are coming to the fore. psilocybin is a selective filter for this. the wish to go to space is a selective filter for this. just the wish to know your own mind is a selective filter for this.
Ideas Space Mind
Organize your reality according to your strength; organize your reality according to your playfulness; according to your dreams; according to your joy; according to your hopes - and then you can help those who organize their reality according to their fears.
Dream Reality Joy
Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.
Life Stupidity Lasts

Sex Commitment Different
Ayn rand held that art is a 're-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgements.' by its nature, therefore, a novel (like a statue or a symphony) does not require or tolerate an explanatory preface; it is a self-contained universe, aloof from commentary, beckoning the reader to enter, perceive, respond.
Art Reality Self
My trade and my art is living. he who forbids me to speak about it according to my sense, experience, and practice, let him orderthe architect to speak of buildings not according to himself but according to his neighbor; according to another man's knowledge, not according to his own.

Quite often, as life goes on, when we feel completely secure as we go on our way, we suddenly notice that we are trapped in error, that we have allowed ourselves to be taken in by individuals, by objects, have dreamt up an affinity with them which immediately vanishes before our waking eye; and yet we cannot tear ourselves away, held fast by some power that seems incomprehensible to us. sometimes, however, we become fully aware and realize that error as well as truth can move and spur us on to action.
Life Moving Taken
Sex and beauty are inseparable, like life and consciousness. and the intelligence which goes with sex and beauty, and arises out of sex and beauty, is intuition.
Life Beauty Sex
