“Jesus did not stand as a prophet and utter judgements; wherever He went the unerring directness of His presence located men.”

“p.61 He [Roark] was usually disliked, from the first sight of his face, anywhere he went. His face was closed like the door of a safety vault; things locked in safety vaults are valuable; men did not care to feel that.
