About this quote

This line comes from Part III, Chapter 7 of Atlas Shrugged (1957), in the context of John Galt's philosophy of rational egoism. Rand argued that happiness is not a given but an achievement that requires the courage to identify one's genuine values and fight to attain them. She rejected the view that happiness should be sacrificed for duty or social obligation, seeing such demands as a form of moral coercion.
