Atlas Shrugged: Part I

& Larkin: They say you’re intractable, you’re ruthless, your only goal is to make money.
    Henry Rearden: ... My only goal is to make money.
    Larkin: Yes, but you shouldn’t say it.

& Rearden: What is wrong with the world?
    Larkin: Don’t ask useless questions. How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Who is John Galt?

& Wesley Mouch: Paul, this is not personal. Everybody has to share the burdens we face, especially Rearden.

& Dagny Taggart: Owen Kellogg... I was actually grooming him for a management position... and he just up and left. He couldn’t even tell me why. He just said: Who is John Galt? Why are so many great men disappearing?

& Dagny: So you did betray them intentionally?
    Francisco D’Anconia: That’s for you to decide. They rode on my brain and on the premise that I wanted to make money.
    Dagny: What happened to you, Francisco? Where is the man I used to love?
    Francisco: You’ll figure it out in time. Just answer the question, please. Who is John Galt?


& Francisco: If it wasn’t for you, most of these people would be left helpless. Why are you willing to carry them?
    Rearden: Because they’re a bunch of miserable children... trying to stay alive desperately and very badly.
    Francisco: Have you told them?
    Rearden: Told them what?
    Francisco: You’re working for your sake, not theirs.
    Rearden: They know.
    Francisco: Yes, they do. But they don’t think you do.
    Rearden: And what do I care what they think?
    Francisco: Because it’s a battle. A battle in which one must make one’s stand clear.
    Rearden: What battle? Don’t fight the disarmed.
    Francisco: Oh, they have a weapon against you. It’s their only weapon, but it’s a terrible one. Ask yourself what it is sometime. There’s a reason you’re as unhappy as you are.

& Rearden: What exactly is your motive here?
    Francisco: Let us say... to give you the words you need for the time when you’ll need them.

& Herbert Mowen: Miss Taggart, it is public opinion that Rearden Metal is unsafe.
    Dagny: What about the truth?

& Reporter: Miss Taggart, who is John Galt?
    Dagny: We are.
