All AYN RAND Quotes about “Age”

“This is the age othe common man, they tell us-a title which any man may claim to the extent osuch distinction as he has managed not to achieve.”
“That love is reverence, and worship, and glory, and the upward glance. Not a bandage for dirty sores. But they donâ€™t know it. Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones whoâ€™ve never felt it. They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, contempt, and general indifference, and they call it love. Once youâ€™ve felt what it means to love as you and I know it â€“ the total passion for the total height â€“ youâ€™re incapable of anything less.”
“The men of the press, who despised their own profession, did not know why they were enjoying it today. One of them, a young man with years of notorious success behind him and a cynical look of twice his age, said suddenly, 'I know what I'd like to be: I wish I could be a man who covers news!'”
“It is not as late as you think. It is merely early - in the age of the rebirth of individualism.”
“In western civilization, the period ruled by mysticism is known as the 'Dark Ages' and the 'Middle Ages'. I will assume that you know the nature of that period and the state of human existence in those ages. The Renaissance broke the rules of the mystics. "Renaissance" means the "rebirth". Few people today will care to remind you that it was a rebirth of reason - of man's mind.”
“The age of the skyscraper is gone. This is the age of the housing project. Which is always a prelude to the age of the cave.”
“The Middle Ages were an era of mysticism, ruled by blind faith and blind obedience to the dogma that faith is superior to reason. The Renaissance was specifically the rebirth of reason, the liberation of man's mind, the triumph of rationality over mysticism - a faltering, incomplete, but impassioned triumph that led to the birth of science, of individualism, of freedom.”
