Anyone who knew Ayn knew that she was not big on sniveling. But I was devastated. We’d often talked about “stopping the engine of the world.” Well, now she had stopped the engine of my heart. So, yes, I sniveled a bit. Although, in keeping with my Objectivist principles, when I sniveled, I did it in my room, while keeping my face as impassive and noble as I could.
From I Was Ayn Rand’s Lover, by George Saunders
