And I really think Rand's thinking about herself, you know, when she says that, that she inherits nothing. She stands at the start. But, you know, The Fountainhead comes out in the middle of World War II, and it's not expected. Rand is an unknown writer. This is kind of a strange book. It's, you know, classic story. It's turned down by 12 publishers before one takes a chance on it.
