Ayn Rand wrote lots more than "Atlas Shrugged." I think it would be clearer and more effective to keep the Wiki sites for Rand quotes separate, cross-linking when appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 97.101.87.47 (talk)

See the main Ayn Rand author page. I take it you agree with the proposal to move the Atlas Shrugged section here. ~ Ningauble 16:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to try and go through and organize these quotes by chapter so the page isn't a huge mess. Could get ugly in the meantime. ~ Webmaren 18:35, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Title quote

I'm rather surprised that the quote that contains "Atlas shrugged" isn't here. Surely if it gave this book its title, it must have been rather significant? Quietbritishjim 17:53, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Books don't make words, authors make them. Literature may be quotable, but only as the authors give them voice. Keep the "Ayn Rand" entry comprehensive and composite. Let the individual works be stubs that reference the main author entry. [User: anonymous] 01:20 22 April 2011 (UTC).

You are free to expand the main entry as you see fit. I don't really understand your argument here - it isn't like this article leaves any room for doubt as to who wrote the book. The whole idea of creating separate articles for books is so that you don't have a multi-megabyte article for the author which others would be tempted to prune. ~ S0CO(talk|contribs) 03:39, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
