The Fountainhead Love Quotes

How we cite our quotes: (Volume.Chapter.Paragraph.)

Quote #10

Alvah Scarrett had never hated anything, and so was incapable of love. (3.1.190)

Again, hatred and love are closely linked. It's interesting that hatred becomes a sort of prerequisite for love. Alvah is "incapable" of love until he has hated something. Maybe he should go try flying on the day before Thanksgiving. That might cure him.

Quote #11

"As a matter of fact, the person who loves everybody and feels at home everywhere is the true hater of mankind." (3.4.22)

Being at home everywhere sounds like something Keating would aspire toward…which means it's a bad idea. Loving everyone basically means you don't really love anyone, because love can't be stretched that thin. As Roark says, love is very selfish.

Quote #12

"Do you know what you're actually in love with? Integrity. The impossible." (3.8.26)

Aside from Roark, no one gets Dominique quite like Wynand does. He reveals something of himself whenever he speaks about her, though. Here, he lets us know that he finds integrity "impossible."
