The night before Dagny is to leave, Galt tells her:
"You have seen the Atlantis they were seeking ... but one must enter it naked and alone, with no rags from the falsehoods of centuries, with the purist clarity of mind - not an innocent heart, but that which is much rarer: an intransigent mind - as one's only possession and key."
I could not help think of Christ's admonition to the rich man that he had to give everything away to enter the kingdom of heaven. And it is after his refusal that Christ says that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to go to heaven.
What is it that holds Dagny to the world beyond Atlantis?
