Quoted: Atlas Shrugged

At the sanctions talks, Cyrus tells the American side that the common bond between men is the exchange of goods, not the exchange of suffering. A US delegate asks if that's one of his philosophers or some famous Persian trader. Cyrus says it's Ayn Rand, and that he'd have thought she was required reading in the country that perfected capitalism. Atlas Shrugged runs over a thousand pages, which may be why the delegate skipped it.
