"The literature of the past," said Balph Eubank, "was a shallow fraud. It whitewashed life in order to please the money tycoons whom it served. Morality, free will, achievement, happy endings, and man as some sort of heroic being-- all that stuff is laughable to us. Our age has given depth to literature for the first time, by exposing the real essence of life... Suffering... Defeat and suffering."
(Rand, Ayn. Atlas Shrugged. New York: Dutton, 1957.)
