Where Does The Word Atlas Come From Usage Of The Phrase "final Choice"?

Usage of the phrase "final choice"? - where does the word atlas come from

Several years ago, I read the novel Atlas Shrugged, which I much admired. In a scene where a woman is a last minute problem, he said: "I know I'm not your choice."

At this time the scene said a friend. He said that the phrase "has issued a final decision," a new meaning when the novel was written it now. This meant that human beings are creatures who mate once in their lives that the pair once again (the "final decision") remain are loyal to each other, and when it mate disappear, the creature would be allowed to seek another partner . This service is made in the context of the novel. That said, I'm not sure about the meaning, but it is close to that what I wrote.

I remember using the word in another book with the sense that I described here. This year there are events, and I can not remember the title of the second book.

Since I have seen no other example, not with the sense already explained. I was told that words and phrases English coins all the time, and that ofteNo words come and go, without stopping at. I fear that this is an example in this sentence. However, I am interested by this statement of the origin and use.

One of the things. I know that people can love more than once in his life. This means that there can be no ultimate love interest, no "final decision", are defined as here. However, all languages have words and expressions that are not on topics that refer to exist. An example is the word "Unicorn", supposedly a horse with a horn, a beautiful animal, which is only in fairy tales. The word is used, and has a clear sense of the target audience. I request that this restriction on the term "final decision".

It is a topic that interested me for a while, but not further pursue this interest until now. Any help would be very grateful.

I think your question fascinating. Although I am not competent to answer, here is a book that can shed some light for you: Essays on Ayn Rand Atlas rebellion by Robert Mayhew. "Robert Mayhew published in one place the ideas of some of the best authors of the atlas boundary and offered to read at least one months of fun." Mayhew book was published last year and is available online at Amazon.com.
