- I believe in no God, no invisible man in the sky. But there is something more powerful in each of us, a combination of our efforts, a great chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interests that the chain pulls society in the right direction. The chain is too powerful and too mysterious for any government to guide. Any man who tells you differently either has his hand in your pocket or a pistol to your neck. - View Quote Details on I believe in no God, no invisible man in the…

- Steinman, I know Medical Pavilion is your manor, but you might want to cogitate on this: Ocean water is colder than a witch’s tit. You don’t heat the pipes, the pipes freeze; pipes freeze, pipes burst. Then Rapture leaks. Now, I realize you’re a posh sort of geezer and, frankly, I don’t give a toss if you piss or go fishing. But once Rapture starts leaking, the old girl’s never gonna stop.

- I am Andrew Ryan, and I’m here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? ‘No!’ says the man in Washington, ‘It belongs to the poor.’ ‘No!’ says the man in the Vatican, ‘It belongs to God.’ ‘No!’ says the man in Moscow, ‘It belongs to everyone.’ I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different.

And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city, as well. - View Quote Details on I am Andrew Ryan, and I’m here to ask you…

- The assassin has overcome my final defense, and now he’s come to murder me. In the end, what separates a man from a slave? Money? Power? No, a man chooses, a slave obeys. You think you have memories. A farm, a family, an airplane, a crash, and then this place. Was there really a family? Did that plane crash, or was it hijacked, forced down, forced down by something less than a man? Something bred to sleepwalk through life, until they’re activated by a simple phrase spoken by their kindly master? Was a man sent to kill? Or a slave? A man chooses, a slave obeys. Come here, stop, would you kindly? ‘Would you kindly’. A powerful phrase, a familiar phrase. Sit, would you kindly? Stand, would you kindly? Run! Stop. Turn!

But know this, you are my greatest disappointment. Does your master hear me? Atlas! You can kill me, but you can never have my city!

- On the surface, I once bought a forest. The parasites claimed that the land belonged to God, and that I establish a public park there. Why?

God did not plant the seeds of this Arcadia. I did. - View Quote Details on On the surface, I once bought a forest. The parasites…
