All men are good and wise. It is only we, Equality 7 2521, we alone who were born with a curse. For we are not like our brothers. ALL MEN ARE GOOD AND WISE IT IS ONLY WE EQUALITY SEVEN TWO FIVE TWO ONE WE ALONE WHO WERE BORN WITH A CURSE FOR WE ARE NOT LIKE OUR BROTHERS
 These words were cut long ago. There is green mould in the grooves of the letters and yellow streaks on the marble, which come from more years than men could count. And these words are the truth, for they are written on the Palace of the World Council, and the World Council is the body of all truth. Thus has it been ever since the Great Rebirth, and farther back than that no memory can reach. But we must never speak of the times before the Great Rebirth, else we are sentenced to three years in the Palace of Corrective Detention. It is only the Old Ones who whisper about it in the evenings, in the Home of the Useless. They whisper many strange things, of the towers which rose to the sky, in those Unmentionable Times, and of the wagons which moved without horses, and of the lights which burned without flame. But those times were evil. And those times passed away, when men saw the Great Truth which is this: that all men are one and that there is no will save the will of all men together. URSELVES BUT IT HELPS US NOT THESE WORDS WERE CUT LONG AGO THERE IS A GREEN MOULD IN THE GROOVES OF LETTERS AND YELLOW STREAKS ON THE MARBLES WHICH COME FOR MORE YEARS THAN MEN COULD COUNT AND THESE WORDS ARE TRUTH FOR THEY ARE WRITTEN ON THE PALACE OF THE WORLD COUNCIL AND THE WORLD COUNCIL IS THE BODY OF ALL TRUTH THUS HAS IT BEEN EVER SINCE THE GREAT REBIRTH AND FARTHER BACK THAN THAT NO MEMORY CAN REACH BUT WE MUST NEVER SPEAK OF THE TIMES BEFORE THE GREAT REBIRTH ELSE WE ARE SENTENCED TO THREE YEARS IN THE PALACE OF CORRECTIVE ATTENTION IT'S ONLY THE OLD ONES WHO WHISPER ABOUT IT IN THE EVENINGS IN THE HOME OF THE USELESS THEY WHISPER MANY STRANGE THINGS OF THE TOWERS WHICH ROSE TO THE SKY IN THOSE UNMENTIONABLE TIMES AND OF THE WAGONS WHICH MOVED WITHOUT HORSES AND OF THE LIGHTS WHICH BURNED WITHOUT FLAME BUT THOSE TIMES WERE EVIL AND THOSE TIMES PASSED AWAY WHEN MEN SAW THE GREAT TRUTH WHICH IS THIS THAT ALL MEN ARE ONE AND THAT THERE IS NO WILL SAVE THE WILL OF ALL MEN TOGETHER
