"أيها الجنرال، إن دبابتك قوية

تسحق الغابة وتقتل مائة إنسان.

لكن بها خطأ.

إنها تحتاج إلى سائق.

أيها الجنرال، إن قاذفة قنابلك هائلة

تسبق العاصفة وتحمل أكثر من فيل

لكن بها خطأ.

إنها تحتاج لمن يصلحها.

أيها الجنرال إن الإنسان عظيم الفائدة

يستطيع أن يطير وأن يقتل

لكن به خطأ.

أنه يستطيع أن يفكر." — Sep 15, 2026 12:58PM

Anthem by Ayn Rand

1 note & 3 highlights

At forty, they are sent to the Home of the Useless, where the Old Ones live. The Old Ones do not work, for the State takes care of them. They sit in the sun in summer and they sit by the fire in winter.
