Here's hoping you don't get it from the place your name implies, because Ayn Rand is a truly awful moral guide.

I've said where I get it from.  Knowledge does not come from other people.  Knowledge comes from Observing reality.
"Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture,  an intransigent mind, and a step that travels unlimited roads."

"The hardest thing to explain is the glaringly evident which everybody has decided not to see."
