Wynand的故事也好精彩啊。 读书读书读书!读书的重要性朋友们。 He wanted to know what made these people different from those in his neighborhood.

"He waited to see how long it would last. It gave him a strange, hard pleasure to watch his fight against it, and he could forget that it was his own suffering; he could smile in contempt, not realizing that he similed at his own agony.

People turned to look at Howard Roark as he passed. Some remained staring after him with sudden resentment. They could give no reason for it: it was an instinct his presence awakened in most people. Howard Roark saw no one. For him, the streets were empty. He could have walked there naked without concern.
"Do you mean to tell me that you're thinking seriously of building that way, when and if you are an architect?" "Yes." "My dear fellow, who will let you?" "That's not the point. The point is, who will stop me?"

2019.04.01看完。 integrity是本书最看重的一个词,这需要一个人诚实地面对自己,有原则,为自己而活! Roark是一个理想标杆,是精神指南。反思自己生活,很多地方也是为了别人的眼光和评价而活。 要为自己而活! 本书有三大部分充分阐述作者观点,一个是Roark在游艇上对Wynand的谈话,一个是Ellsworth袒露自己操纵人心的手段,最后一个是Roark在法庭上的陈词。

很长的一个故事,真的没有想到过真的能在今年读完。作者很少着墨于意识形态,更多的是讲故事,故事本身能够给人更多思考,而Toohey和Roark的两份自我的叙述,也是整个故事核心的对比。 我当然不认为Roark这样的人能真的有存于世上。但是Toohey这样的存在确是实实在在的。身边到处充斥着second-handed的人,我的排他性原来并不是我的疯狂。
