Howard Roark: The Ideal Man

In Ayn Rand’s novel, The Fountainhead, the character Howard Roark
embodies the virtue of egoism. In the climactic courtroom speech
he says: 


 


“The creators were not selfless. It is the whole secret of their
power—that it was self-sufficient, self-motivated,
self-generated. A first cause, a fount of energy, a life force, a
Prime Mover. The creator served nothing and no one. He lived for
himself.”
