Probably one of her better lines.

A favorite of mine, for the wrong reasons of course, is (in
paraphrase) "When the choice is between food and poison, there is only
one rational decision." She probably said this while smoking a
cigarette. :-)

I spent an early part of my undergraduate experience reading all of
Rand's stuff. I think Steve Martin unintentionally sums her up best
when he intones: "Let us now all repeat the Individualist's Oath..."

I know this has nothing to do with Telecom, but I thought you might
appreciate the comment.
