![“If [people] place such things as friendship and family ties above their own productive work, yes, then they are immoral.

A man who places others first, above his own creative work, is an emotional parasite.” quote by Ayn Rand](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/644/ayn-rand-59_creative_if-people-place-such-things-as-friendshi_53834.jpg)
