“To live, man must hold three things as the supreme and ruling values of his life: Reason â€" Purpose â€" Self-esteem. Reason, as his only tool of knowledge â€" Purpose, as his choice of happiness, which that too, must process to achieve â€" Self-esteem, as his inviolate certainty that his mind is competent to think and his person is worthy of happiness, which means: worthy of living.†[Ayn Rand, For the New Intellectual, p128]
