"Pada awalnya, manusia diperbudak oleh para dewa. Tapi dia mematahkan rantai mereka. Kemudian dia diperbudak oleh raja. Tapi dia mematahkan rantai mereka. Ia diperbudak oleh kelahirannya, oleh kerabatnya, oleh rasnya. Tapi dia mematahkan rantai mereka. Dia menyatakan kepada semua saudara laki-lakinya bahwa seseorang memiliki hak yang tidak dapat diambil oleh dewa atau raja atau orang lain darinya, tidak peduli berapa nomor mereka, karena haknya adalah manusia, dan tidak ada hak di bumi di atas hak ini. Dan dia berdiri di ambang kebebasan dimana darah dari abad-abad di belakangnya telah tumpah."

--- Ayn Rand

Versi Bahasa Inggris

At first, man was enslaved by the gods. But he broke their chains. Then he was enslaved by the kings. But he broke their chains. He was enslaved by his birth, by his kin, by his race. But he broke their chains. He declared to all his brothers that a man has rights which neither god nor king nor other men can take away from him, no matter what their number, for his is the right of man, and there is no right on earth above this right. And he stood on the threshold of freedom for which the blood of the centuries behind him had been spilled.
