Summary: Dagny and Hank converse about their relationship. James Taggart “stoops down” to Cherryl Brooks. Dagny and Hank converse more back in Philadelphia. Mr. Mowen discusses the Equalization of Opportunity Bill and other Big Government ideas with Owen Kellogg. Dagny turns the John Galt Line back into the Rio Norte Line, and then consoles herself with Hank, making plans for the future. They decide to go on a vacation, then decide to explore the 20th Century Motor Company, where they found the model of the motor, the paper plans for which were just over 10 years old. They left to seek the inventor.

Start by reading the first-tier comments, which are all quotes of Ayn Rand (some of my favorites, some just important for other reasons). Comment on your favorite ones, or others' comments. Don't see your favorite quote? Post it in a new comment. Please reserve new comments for Ayn Rand, and your non-Rand quotes for "replies" to the quotes or discussion. (Otherwise Rand's quotes will get crowded out and pushed down into oblivion. You can help avoid this by "voting up" the Rand quotes, or at least the ones you especially like, and voting down first-tier comments that are not quotes of the featured book.)

Atlas Shrugged was written by Ayn Rand in 1957.
