"And then, just the way it was
this morning in the hangar, I saw again, as though right then for the
first time in my life, I saw everything: the unalterably straight
streets, the sparkling glass of the sidewalks, the divine
parallelepipeds of the transparent dwellings, the squared harmony of our
gray-blue ranks. And so I felt that I - not generations of people, but I
myself - I had conquered the old God and the old life, I myself had
created all this, and I'm like a tower, I'm afraid to move my elbow for
fear of shattering the walls, the cupolas, the machines..."
We, Yevgeny Zamyatin trans. by Clarence Brown
