A collection of love letters from Ayn Rand to Nathaniel Branden
May 13th, 1953 Wonderful Nathaniel, I'm writing with the very best news! My husband, Frank has conceded to the unassailable might of my elevated, rational mind! He has admitted utter congruence with my proposal and has told me directly in no uncertain terms that he willingly condones a sexual relationship between you and I. At first I thought Frank hadn't the mental gifts to follow my line of reason... but it is a testament to my own formidable intellect that even a simple man like Frank could eventually understand my infallible logic. It helps that at his core Frank truly believes in objectivism. Even with his lesser brain, he understands that man's truest, most heroic purpose is to pursue his own happiness! After meeting on the basics, I simply explained that a sexual relationship with you would allow me to more entirely pursue the moral absolute of my own happiness. At first he did not understand. But I explained: as much as I value him for his honesty and his spirited commitment to the moral perfection of objectivism, I have yet to experience the fully impassioned joy of a sexual relationship with someone who truly embodies the virtue of reason! When I told Frank that I have never been physically intimate with one as intellectually gifted as you he nodded. He seemed a little hurt, but there was no way he could argue against my appeal to the facts. I explained it wasn't about him, so his feelings didn't really matter. I explained that this venture was not intended to harm him and that standing in the way of my pursuit of individualist happiness with you would be a moral failing on his part. Frank knows his gifts run out where yours begin. He is honest enough to admit that compared to you he is an intellectual midget, and after making that concession the irrefutable path of reason carries us to this absolute: it would be a wonderfully freeing and a wonderfully objectivist act for you and I to entertain an honest, unabashed sexual relationship. What a brave man my husband! He may not be the cleverest among us, but what he lacks in mental faculties he makes up for in emotional sturdiness. Imagine how formidable he'd be if he were as brilliant as you and I! Well, I know you'll be as pleased by the good news as I am. We may soon commence our sexual union, with the fully willing foreknowledge of my husband! All that remains is to bring your wife onboard. I hope that you have had as much luck with Barbara. Though she is dim like Frank, I will always consider her a friend. I truly hope that she can reach the same conclusion as he did. It might be hard for her, not to feel the impulsiveness of jealousy. But I believe her commitment to objectivism is sincere! If you explain to her your own desire to be physically intimate with someone of my intellectual caliber I believe she will concede as Frank did. Yours in moral truth, -Ayn R

Baldy and the Two Bears
There, within sight of the western shore they looked down towards the Dead Sea and then stopped to pray. The Prophet Elijah and his servant Elisha entered the circle of standing stones at Gilgal and they lay prostrate, with their faces in the dust and they listened for the LORD in the silence of their hearts.
