Ayn Rand on Love

So, does the name Ayn Rand ring a bell? 




Since, Valentine's day is just around the corner, let's talk about love. And here's something to share about Rand's definition of love, which is featured in her book The Fountainhead. And it goes...

 "To say ‘I love you’ one must first know how to say the ‘I. The meaning of the ‘I’ is an independent, self-sufficient entity that does not exist for the sake of any other person. A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.”
