On February 2, 1905, the American philosopher and writer (of Russian origin) Alissa Zinovievna, better known in the world of literature as Ayn Rand, was born in St. Petersburg. She died in March 1982 in New York.
"When you realize that, in order to produce, you must obtain authorization from those who produce nothing; when you see that money flows to those who do not trade goods, but favors; when you realize that many become rich through corruption and influence, rather than with their own work, and that the laws do not protect you from them, but rather, they are protected against you; when you discover that corruption is rewarded and honesty becomes a personal sacrifice, then you will be able to say, without fear of being wrong, that your society is doomed."
