Two pages come to mind, both because they are beautifully written and evoke some interesting ideas out of me. Both are from Atlas Shrugged. I'd have to read The Fountainhead again to extract some favorite pages from that.

"Of what importance is that bridge to the solar system?"
--James Taggart after the first run of The John Galt Line, speaking of the controversial bridge.

"He belonged in the countryside, she thought--he belonged everywhere--he was a man who belonged on earth--and she thought of the words which were more exact: he was a man to whom the earth belonged, the man at home on earth and in control."
--Dagny Taggart speaking of Henry Rearden

I just like the way these two pages are written.
