The Fountainhead - The Value of Individualism Over Altruism
Peter Keating:
But it's a humanitarian project. Think of the people who live in slums. If you can give them decent housing, you can perform a noble deed. Would you do it just for their sake?
Howard Roark:
No! A man who works for others without payment is a slave! I do not believe that slavery is noble. Not in any form, nor for any purpose, whatsoever!

The Fountainhead - The Struggle Between Individuality and Compromise
Dominique Francon: [to Roark]
I wish I had never seen your building. It's the things that we admire or want that enslave us. I'm not easy to bring into submission.
Henry Cameron:
I told them that the form of a building must follow its function.
Gail Wynand: [to Roark, regarding the Wynand Building]
Build it as a monument to that spirit which is yours - and could have been mine.
Peter Keating:
You can't hope to survive unless you learn how to compromise. Now, watch me! In just a few short years I'll shoot to the top of the architectural profession because I'm going to give the public what it wants.
