My thanks to Thaedeus Zefuldar on Facebook for this marvelous quote.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course,...... involves orcs."

Only if you write the perfect song that could bring about world peace but refuse to play it for anyone because you don't think you'll get enough money... then bring about global annihilation because you're pissed about your theory that you might not have gotten enough money for your song. That would definitely be Going Galt.
