The Fountainhead (Centennial Edition HC)

You ever read The Fountainhead?

You know, I really I started the fountainhead a while ago.

One of my favorite books, maybe my favorite, I don't like to use that word favorite, but like The Fountainhead. It's Ayn Rand. It changed my life. It freed me as an artist.

read and read Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

Reed and Reen Fountainhead by Ayn Rand

I think of that dirty dancing movie when you start to see the bias in Hollywood and you see the way to Robbie who's like the real turd burglar in the movies, total loser. And he comes up and he's like, read and read Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

And I think the book is fountain head if I'm not sure what I'm thinking.

I would say, uh, man, I would recommend The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I've heard of it. I heard it's good. Have you read The Fountainhead? Oh, dude. Is it good? Oh, yeah. Did a movie know? I don't know if they ever made a movie The Fountainhead. I think they did.

I love the fountainhead. Fountainhead fucking rules.

The Fountainheads actually could be like a fine movie.

Why is Ron Paul hollowing a six inch hole out of a copy of the fountain head?

From an early age, he fell in love with the writing of Ayn Rand, particularly The Fountainhead, which is, I know.

This book has a big influence on the guy.

Yeah, face palm. Yeah. Bibi identified strongly with Howard Rourke, the heroic architect ubermensch of the story.

This book has a big influence on the guy.

They bought exclusive TV rights to one of the books. I forget if it was Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged.

It sounds very much like you've been reading Ayn Rand.

Well, it's both a great movie and a terrible movie, right? So 1949, The Fountainhead, based on the novel by Ayn Rand and directed by King Vidor.

And the lead character in the film, played by Gary Cooper, is this architect named Howard Rourke. And he's a very dogmatic modernist.

Everyone's reading The Fountainhead all day. Read that in college. How could you not? It's so appealing when you're a young man.

I hadn't read Fountainhead already? I read some interview with you. I swore it said you like Fountainhead. I think I did then.

I read it when I was in the eighth grade when I was a little kid. I was obsessed with it.

Then it kind of came out later that it's just this kind of narcissism and there's all this toxic philosophy in it.

He's also just like an epic, epic figure. I think we have to start, we have to begin in an epic register. Yes. Honestly, it's best if he introduces himself. Ladies and gentlemen of the press, usually I'm introduced as the last living amateur.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press, usually I'm introduced as the last living amateur. Something like the tattooed man, you know. That's Avery Brundage, late in life, speaking to some reporters in Japan. A journalist friend of mine in Chicago, one of the most sophisticated and cynical columnists there, visited Olympia not so long ago.

This man was so impressed by the atmosphere at ancient Olympia that he was almost converted.

I feel like the mid-century was full of men like this. Fiction was full of men like this. The architect in Howard Roark, and Ayn Rand's the fountainhead.

I can't help but think of the distinction between Howard Rourke and Peter Keating in The Fountainhead. If you haven't read it, you should.

they all read Ayn Rand's novel and like The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged and then they stopped reading after that

the Fountainhead

Ayn Rand's architect

What's your favorite book that you, well, Fountainhead.

It's uh, it's sci-fi fantasy based off of like objectivist ideas from like "The Fountainhead" and Cool, the bat the boss is actually is literally named Atlas and the story is basically ultra wealthy people build a city underwater to escape regulation and...

I found out late in life that he'd read Ayn Rand earlier on 'The Fountainhead'.

The Fountainhead doesn't cut it

He was very much out of the sort of Ayn Rand school of thinking. And he's often discussed how the fountainhead and books like that from Ayn Rand were really his formative things.

I didn't understand in college and now I'm starting to understand. And I haven't not finished the whole book, but I've read parts of it all over is the Fountainhead.
