Music, which some call the universal language, has been with us as long as life itself. From each continent’s birdsong to the thumping of elephants on their moonlit jaunt across a grassland, from the Neanderthal’s bone flutes and triangles to Mozart’s orchestral harmonies to today’s electronically generated sounds, music has been created, advanced and enjoyed by every living creature in history. Acoustic, electrified, natural or man-made, sounds which speak to us, which harmonize and touch the soul, are perhaps the truest and most spiritual form of communication ever devised by life forms. Indeed, among many life forms, they are the essence of communication itself. Jean Paul Richter reminds us that, “Music is the poetry of the air.” Add to that the admonition of British composer Edgar Elgar that, “there is music in the air, music all around us…simply take as much as you require,” and it is certain we can never be the poorer for living in this world if we only take a moment to listen.

I’m the greatest, I’m a bad man, and I’m pretty! Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want. Don’t count the days, make the days count. I’m a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I’m no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won’t hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat. What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming. A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he’ll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing. Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are. All through my life, I have been tested. My will has been tested, my courage has been tested, my strength has been tested. Now my patience and endurance are being tested. Allah is the Greatest. I’m just the greatest boxer. Aren’t any reasons for me to kill nobody in the ring, unless they deserve it.
This book is an anthology of 153 quotes from Ayn Rand and 70 selected facts about Ayn Rand. Ayn Rand was born Alisa Zinov’yevna Rosenbaum on February 2, 1905, to a Russian Jewish bourgeois family living in Saint Petersburg. Ayn Rand acknowledged Aristotle as her greatest influence and remarked that in the history of philosophy she could only recommend “three A’s” — Aristotle, Aquinas, and Ayn Rand. Her father, Zinovy Rosenbaum, was a successful pharmacist and businessman, owning a pharmacy and the building in which it was located. Ayn Rand began writing screenplays at the age of eight and novels at the age of ten. When Ayn Rand arrived in New York City on February 19, 1926, she was so impressed with the skyline of Manhattan that she cried what she later called “tears of splendor”. An essay about the Polish actress Pola Negri became her first published work. Between Ayn Rand and former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan existed long-time friendship. Ayn Rand adored Hugh Hefner, describing him as “very intelligent.” After she visited the Playboy Club, she declared it “a wonderful place and a brilliant undertaking.” Actress Eva Mendes told Askmen.com that any potential boyfriend “has to be an Ayn Rand fan.” A Conformist is a man who declares, “It’s true because others believe it” – but an Individualist is NOT a man who declares, “It’s true because I believe it.” An Individual declares, “I believe it because I see in reason that it is true. A “collective” mind does not exist. It is merely the sum of endless numbers of individual minds. If we have an endless number of individual minds who are weak, meek, submissive and impotent – who renounce their creative supremacy for the sake of the “whole” and accept humbly that the “whole’s” verdict – we don’t get a collective super-brain. We get only the weak, meek, submissive and impotent collective mind. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. A government is the most dangerous threat to man’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims. A leash is a rope with a noose at both ends. A man’s ego is the fountainhead of human progress. A man’s sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions…. He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience a sense of self-esteem. The man who is proudly certain of his own value, will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer–because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement.
This book is an anthology of 167 quotes from Helen Keller and 67 selected facts about Helen Keller. A very healthy baby, Helen was born June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama to retired army Captain Arthur Keller and his second wife, Kate. Her father, Arthur H. Keller, had served as a captain for the Confederate Army. Her paternal grandmother was the second cousin of Robert E. Lee. Her mother, Kate Adams, was the daughter of Charles W. Adams, who fought for the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, earning the rank of colonel and acting brigadier-general. Her paternal lineage was traced to Casper Keller, a native of Switzerland. One of Helen’s Swiss ancestors was the first teacher for the deaf in Zurich. Helen Keller had her eyes replaced with glass eyes when she was 30. Helen Keller learned German, Latin, Greek, and French before she graduated from Radcliffe College. Helen Keller helped promote the use of Braille among blind people. In 1902, Helen Keller became the first person who was deaf and blind to write a book. Her autobiography, The Story of My Life, was the first of 14 books she wrote in her lifetime. “I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.” “It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.” “Do not think of today’s failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow.” “A bend in the road is not the end of the road…Unless you fail to make the turn.” “A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships.” “While they were saying it couldn’t be done, it was done.” “You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear.” “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” “Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it. My optimism, then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the preponderance of good and a willing effort always to cooperate with the good, that it may prevail.”

Grace’s favorite flowers were roses. After her death, Prince Rainier of Monaco opened a public rose garden in Monaco. I never say “never,” and I never say “always.” The idea of my life as a fairy tale is itself a fairy tale. Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery. Fairy tales tell imaginary stories. Me, I’m a living person. I exist. If the story of my life as a real woman were to be told one day, people would at last discover the real being that I am.
