I really do pity those who've read The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged and could not fully understand what was being said.

Her failure in taking on the is-ought problem was unfortunate, but that does not take away from the fact she was an intellectual titan.

I really do feel bad for people who've not had the joy of reading this book, and I feel even worse for those who've read it and were unable to comprehend the brilliance.

Atlas Shrugged is probably one of the greatest books ever written. Once you read it, nearly everything else you read will seem like a balloon, kind of pretty but full of nothing on the inside.

That being said, Hank Rearden is the best character in the novel.
