Anthem
by Ayn Rand
"I look upon the history of men, which I have leaned from the books, and I wonder. It was a long story, and the spirit of which moved it was the spirit of man's freedom. But what is freedom? Freedom from what? There is nothing to take a man's freedom away from him, save other men. To be free, a man must be free of his brothers. This is freedom. This and nothing else."
Respond.
"For the word "We" must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man's soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man's torture by men, and of an unspeakable lie."
Respond.
Reference to Prometheus.
