Which excerpt from Anthem best illustrates the theme that collectivism and group thinking limit man's potential? • I look upon the history of men, which I have learned from the books, and wonder.
O I stand here
on the summit of the mountain. I lift
my head and spread my arms.
O Many words have been granted me, and some are wise,
and some are false, but only three are holy: "1 will it!"
What disaster took their reason away from men? What whip lashed them to their knees in shame and submission?
The worship of the word "We."
