About Mike the construction worker, friend of Roark: "He worshipped expertness of any kind. He loved his work passionately and had no tolerance for anything save for other single-track devotions. He was a master in his own filed and felt no sympathy except for mastery. His view of the world was simple: there were the able and there were the incompetent; he was not concerned with the latter.

Peter Keating: "Do you always have to have a purpose? Do you always have to be so damn serious? Can't you ever do things without reason, just like everybody else? You're so serious, so old.

Testimonials
“Hi Brian - - I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy thinkarete. In the beginning, I wasn't sure how you could do it daily, but it gives me just enough philosophy to ponder and I can delve deeper into something when I have the time. Arete (the newsletter) has also inspired some insightful (not inciteful!) dialogue between my best friend and myself. We look forward to our daily Arete. Thanks for sharing.”
