Quote #7
"I want to ask every man who is interested in this to go and see the building, to look at it and then to use the words of his own mind, if he cares to speak." (2.12.45)
Roark encourages people to form their own opinions and speak their own minds here. Everything for Roark ties back to his strong individualist views.
Quote #8
They could always speak like this too each other, continuing a conversation they had not begun. (2.12.63)
This quiet sense of connection between Roark and Dominique is a recurring motif throughout the latter part of the novel.
Quote #9
Queer things were happening to Keating's verbal punctuation: some words came out crisply, as if he dropped an exclamation point after each; others ran together as if he would not stop to let himself hear them. (2.12.133)
Rand often describes how people speak rather than just telling us verbatim what they are saying. Here, we don't really need to know what Keating is saying about Roark in his testimony. We get a lot more insight into Keating's state of mind by learning about how he sounds.
