The quote is actually said by Steven Mallory to Dominique in the last visit she makes to him before going off to marry Gail Wyand. the third quote you have is not by Peter Keating, yes Peter is completley the opposite of what Howard represents in this book but he does not say this quote.

My initial reaction upon finishing it was quickly, and deservingly adjusted by a quote from Miss Rand in the opening pages of Atlas Shrugged. My thought being, although i believe in Roarkian principles with all me being, i do not believe this man exists. Rand stated ( i paraphrase) " let no man reply in such a manner, the fact that this book has been published is proof that they do exist." i want to be a roark SO badly, not for anyone else, but myself. Let any other youth join me in a call to our current generation, as well as those to come, in stating with the way we live our lives that WE ARE NOT BORN TO BE SECOND-HANDERS! i am 24 years old and i have just finished “the fountainhead” a few days ago. many of the truths outlined in this book have definitely changed my life.

The other being Atlas Shrugged. For all those who say that they hate Ayn Rand and her work, it is because you refuse to think. It is because you refuse to acknowledge. Look at the greatness of her characters. They are not great because of others. Greatness from others is not true greatness, only greatness from the self. Every time I am doubting in life and i read a quote or a page, I can feel myself coming back; my convictions. I only tell those who i think are like me, those who i know will understand, to read this amazing work because i know that it will give them the confidence to discover who they truly are in the world. The world is full of second handers and it is those second handers who do not understand. I refuse to allow myself to be a second hander. I refuse to allow those second handers to question my choices, thoughts and convictions. As the quote from Atlas Shrugged says "I am, therefore I'll think."
