Who is John Galt?
Do not cry that is our duty to serve you. We do not recognize such duty.
Do not cry that you need us. We do not consider "need" a claim.
Do not cry that you own us. You don't.
Do not beg us to return. We are on strike, we, the men of the mind.
We are on strike against self-immolation.
We are on strike against the creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties.
We are on strike against the dogma that the pursuit of one's happiness is evil.
We are on strike against the doctrine that life is guilt.
