Buy an atlas and keep it by the bed – remember you can go anywhere.
Joanna Lumley
‘Atlas Shrugged,’ let’s face it, was probably the most important novel of the 20th century that was never a film.
Albert S. Ruddy
Atlas was permitted the opinion that he was at liberty, if he wished, to drop the Earth and creep away; but this opinion was all that he was permitted.
Franz Kafka
Think Apple, think the FBI. We are living ‘Atlas Shrugged.’ Why is it so important? Because I would hate for the country to have that rhetorical question: Where is John Galt, who is John Galt? John Galt is all of us.
Rick Santelli
The U.S’s first ballistic missile test was a complete disaster. The Atlas Missile Program, which began in the early 1950s, attempted its first ballistic missile launch on June 11, 1957. The rocket flew for 24 seconds before blowing up. It took two more years before the first successfully armed test flight took place.

Nick gets carsick if he’s not driving – plus, he’s basically a walking atlas. He can drive around any city without a map, which works out fine for me because I just become our entertainment director and pick out which audio book we’ll listen to next.
Megan Mullally
Whether or not you agree with Ayn Rand – and I have certain issues with some of her beliefs – the woman can tell a story.

I got interested in astronomy at the age of 8 because I was looking at an atlas of the planets in my parents’ apartment in Arlington, where I grew up. I got a telescope at age 10, which is pretty normal, and by the time I was in eighth grade, I had already seen a lot of cheesy sci-fi films.

I would read the atlas for pleasure. I knew it was weird. It was weird.
Ken Jennings
‘Cloud Atlas’ is for everybody. The main character in the movie is humanity.
Lilly Wachowski
You know what that big number was? It was 1957. It’s not the year I was born. I’m a little older than that. I wish it was the year I was born. It was the year one of my favorite books was written: ‘Atlas Shrugged.’ Ayn Rand.
Rick Santelli
Oftentimes in tech, people think, ‘I’m the only one that has this.’ I call them the Atlas People. They’re like, ‘The weight of the world is on the shoulders. I’m the only person who can solve this problem.’ But you can’t do that.

I tend to really be partial to Ayn Rand, and to The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.
Clarence Thomas
I guess when you take a look at the book ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ I think most people always like to identify with the main character – that would be John Galt. I guess I identify with Hank Rearden, the fella that just refused until the very end to give up.
