A brilliant, brave woman. While reading her books I stop in amazement that English was her 2nd language.

*She make sense*

This is, I do believe, the greatest mark of respect one's can give to Ayn Rand.

@nosajj12345 I think "I've said what I needed to say" would be a great phrase to have on her tombstone.

@nosajj12345 You are correct. ..and as Miss Rand would probably say, "My work has spoken for itself."

In fact, a completely simple, non-embelished tombstone paired with her husband's of the same quality is about as appropriate as it should ever be for such a person of her brand of integrity. The lesser writer, philosopher would require a long epitaph or inscription to "remind" people of what they had accomplished in life. Someday, I'd like to visit her grave to simply say "thank you."

I shed a tear watching this video, knowing that even a person as great as Ayn, cannot live forever. But then realized that she will through her ideas.

No final words or inscription on her tombstone??

I find that kind of ironic when you consider that people, with absolutely nothing worthwhile to say, will almost always have clever or witty or even eloquent phrases on their headstones. Perhaps this was her way of saying "I've said what I needed to say."

Viktor Frankl. Elie Wiesel and Ayn Rand shared a common bond in trying to describe human values in the immediate postwar atmosphere of a world gone mad.

Rugged individualism built America into the greatest country the world has ever seen. Liberalism, and now Socialism, is about to utterly destroy this great country. Ayn Rand was right.

@joesmoe71 She would've said," I told you so."
