There are no contradictions in reality. Contradictions exist only in the mind, in the mind of a man who makes a mistake.

More from Ayn Rand
"An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he has produced."
"Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice."
"The only thing that can stop an evil man is a good man."
"The only good is the good of the individual. All other goods, such as the good of the family, the good of the community, the good of the nation, are subordinate to it."
"There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil."
About Ayn Rand (1905-1982)
Russian-American novelist (The Fountainhead, 1943; Atlas Shrugged, 1957) and Objectivist philosopher whose ethical egoism and capitalism-as-virtue shaped American libertarianism. Closely associated with Nathaniel Branden (her early Objectivist-movement collaborator and lover). For an intellectual contrast, see John Rawls, Harvard political philosopher (1921-2002) — Rawls's A Theory of Justice (1971) systematized exactly the egalitarian-redistributive liberalism Rand's Atlas Shrugged was structured to attack. Rand's 'sanction of the victim' and Rawls's 'veil of ignorance' are the two opposite founding intuitions of American political philosophy — selfish-flourishing-as-virtue vs fairness-from-original-position.
