Ayn Rand Philosopher, Novelist
Helping Others

"My views on charity are very simple. I do not consider it a major virtue and, above all, I do not consider it a moral duty. There is nothing wrong in helping other people, if and when they are worthy of the help and you can afford to help them. I regard charity as a marginal issue. What I am fighting is the idea that charity is a moral duty and a primary virtue."

Sometimes I just feel like certain things are so glossed over and covered up and swept under the rug and I just want to bring them out."
