My paraphrase for it is, "any time you experience pain, it is because there is something about the world you didn't understand"
Does anyone have the source, or exact quote?
Thanks,

"Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong."
Ayn Rand
Ah, yes Ayn Rand reader. I don't read her stuff but they got a lot of scholarship offers based on doing book reports on her novels. I was going to do Atlas Shrugged till I went to go pick it up at the library and realized the damn book must have more pages then the bible and a dictionary combined! I don't believe in reading anything that I can't fit in my book bag. That's what they got cliff notes for. Good luck on finding your ansewr.
Have they started printing Cliff Notes for any of the WT publications?
Yes...they're called "tracts"...
u/d
Am I getting warm?
"Since life requires a specific course of action, any other course will destroy it. A being who does not hold his own life as the motive and goal of his actions, is acting on the motive and standard of death. Such a being is a metaphysical monstrosity, struggling to oppose, negate, and contradict the fact of his own existence, running blindly amuck on a trail of destruction, capable of nothing but pain."
--from John Galt's oath in Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
god, she gives me goosebumps. just love those quotes...
Ha ha. funny guys about the tracts!
Atlas Shrugged was a life-changing book for me. The Cliffs Notes are junk. Read the real thing. Take it a little at a time.
