Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged quote help

[scarlettscot]

does anyone know the next line of this quote.....

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish.........????

I've saw 2 different versions either - " in lonely frustration for the life you deserved" or "and leave only frustration for the life you deserved"

If someone could tell me which 1 it is it would be great!

Thanks x

It's the second one. The passage is:

Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

How do we all stumble across Ayn Rand? Is it from listening to Ruch albums when were younger?

Sorry, that's Rush albums, not Ruch albums
