The men who think that wealth comes from material resources and has no intellectual root or meaning, are the same men who think — for the same reason — that sex is a physical capacity which functions independently of one’s mind, choices or code of values. They think that your body creates a desire and makes a choice for you — just about in some such way as if iron ore transformed itself into railroad rails of its own volition. Love is blind, they say; sex is impervious to reason and mocks the power of all philosophers. But, in fact, a man’s sexual choice is the result and the sum of his fundamental convictions. Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I will tell you his entire philosophy of life.
- Francisco d’Anconia, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand
