Parallel Lines

Here's part of the quote that Rand at first meant to put at the beginning of The Fountainhead: "...it is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost." (Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil.)

Here is part of Roark's letter to Wynand: "What you think you've lost can neither be lost nor found."

I just finished reading Beyond Good and Evil again, this time for my book club, and this parallel jumped out at me. It's almost like Roark read some Nietzsche too.

Nietzsche
Isn't peachy,
But he's loaded
With lines that get quoted
Or at least alluded to,
Which is really what these words do.
