If you have the book, it is on page 521 according to a search I did on Google Books. However, they do not have the complete quote, just this one line:

“Have you always liked being Howard Roark?” Wynand asks him.

P.S. I found what appears to be the full discourse on a web page. If you do not have the book (ironically I just loaned mine to a student), call a library to confirm it.

Wynand had just met with Roark for the first time, and in that meeting, had asked, “Have you always liked being Howard Roark?”

I love what Ayn Rand tells us, happened next….

Roark smiled. The smile was amused, astonished, involuntarily contemptuous.

“You’ve answered,” said Wynand.
