The egoist: ... he who does not constrain himself for anyone, does not mourn for anyone, knows only his misfortunes, does not mourn the death of others at all, fears only his own, which he would gladly redeem at the price of the extinction of human genius.

"Egoistul: ... cel ce nu se constrânge pentru nimeni, nu plânge pe nimeni, nu cunoaște decât nenorocirile sale, nu plânge deloc moartea altora nu se teme decât de a lui, pe care ar răscumpăra-o bucuros cu prețul stingerii geniului uman."
