Since everyone else is talking about Ayn, let me tell you about Dorothy Parker.
You know that movie, "A Star Is Born?" She wrote the original version. She was a famous writer, known for her devastating insults. She was also an early Anti-Fascist and supporter of Martin Luther King, JR.
Totally underappreciated and far more deserving of fame than Ms. Rand.

And one of the greatest wits of American history. She deserves to be up there with Twain.
If nothing else, she should be remembered for all time for coming up with the phrase "what fresh hell is this?"
Dorothy Parker was once asked to use the word horticulture in a sentence. “You can lead a horticulture,” she replied, “but you can't make her think.”
"Tell him I was too fucking busy-- or vice versa."
Well there you go, I know nothing else about her and she’s already my new favourite person.
Also famously an early lgbt ally. Before the term gay existed in the 20s and 30s the polite way of asking if a man was homosexual was if they were a friend of Dorothy.

TIL. I always thought that only referred to the 'Wizard Of Oz.'
"Heterosexuality isn't normal, it's just common."
Another great Parker quote.
Now the 3rd song in the musical from the IT Crowd's "Work Outing" episode makes sense.
