"Para pencipta besar - pemikir, seniman, ilmuwan, penemu - berdiri sendiri melawan orang-orang di zaman mereka. Setiap pemikiran baru yang hebat ditentang. Setiap penemuan baru yang hebat dikecam. Motor pertama dianggap bodoh. Pesawat itu dianggap mustahil ... Tetapi orang-orang dengan penglihatan yang tidak dititipkan terus maju. Mereka berjuang, mereka menderita dan mereka membayar. Tapi mereka menang."

--- Ayn Rand

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The great creators - the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors - stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The airplane was considered impossible... But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.
