Ayn Rand is not a real philosopher.
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it."-G.B. Shaw
My favorite emotion is that feeling you get when something is so funny that you have an uncontrollable urge to laugh out loud but shouldn't because you're in a place where it's socially unacceptable or impolite to burst into uproarious and hysterical laughter. So, you try to stifle it but can't, because you hear your best friend, who is sitting next to you, trying to do the same thing, which only makes you need to laugh harder.
"White Americans:
What, nothin' better to do?
Why don't you kick yourself out?
You're an immigrant too."
