The 'Throughout the centuries..' quote is also found at a very unique spot in the world.
If you go to Disney's Epcot, you notice the park is laid out very symmetrically, with a focus. At the entrance is that large geodesic sphere, along the park axis of symmetry. If you follow that axis of symmetry into the park, it points directly at the American Pavilion at the far side of the park.
The American Pavilion is also very symmetric, it looks somewhat like Independence Hall. In the center of the America Pavilion is an entrance way, underneath the central spire. At the far end of that entrance way -- still on the center line of the park axis of symmetry -- is a hallway, an waiting room, lined with quotes. In the center of that hallway, still on the center line, is the quote above.
Placed there by the guy who built all this in the middle of a swamp, with nothing but his own vision.
At least, that is where it was when he placed it there. It was still there a few years ago. If it's been moved since, then someone either didn't get the significance of his placement of that quote at that unique focal point of the entire park, or worse: they did.
Looks like it is still there. Note the picture of the hall, and the central quote in the middle of the hall, at the obvious focal point. That is the focal point of the entire park. The quote on the wall, at that obvious focal point, is Rand's.
