One of many memorable quotes from Atlas Shrugged:
She closed her eyes. She heard him laughing; it was the gayest sound in the world. She opened her eyes hastily, but there was no hint of cruelty in his face, only pure laughter.
"My motive, Dagny? You don't think that it's the simplest one of all - the spur of the moment?"
No, she thought, no, that's not true; not if he laughed like that, not if he looked as he did. The capacity for unclouded enjoyment, she thought, does not belong to irresponsible fools; an inviolate peace of spirit is not the achievement of the drifter; to be able to laugh like that is the end result of the most profound, most solemn thinking.
