"A man of genius, living and creating, sacrifices his personal interests for the good of all mankind. Therefore he is not obliged to sacrifice himself in particular for the interests of particular persons, and therefore has the right to waive some requirements binding on others; even though he suffers, he gives much more than others.

""Un om de geniu, trăind și creând, își sacrifică interesele personale pentru binele întregii omeniri. De aceea, el nu este obligat să se sacrifice în particular pentru interesele unor persoane anume, și, prin urmare, are dreptul să renunțe la unele cerințe obligatorii pentru ceilalți; chiar dacă suferă, el oferă mult mai mult decât alții."
