"The man who loves himself hates nothing more than being alone with himself. He seeks nothing but himself, and flees from nothing as himself, because when he looks, he does not find himself as he would like, and because he finds in himself a heap of inevitable miseries and a void of real and lasting goods on who is unable to fill it.

The man who loves himself hates nothing more than being alone with himself. He seeks nothing but himself, and flees from nothing as himself, because when he looks, he does not find himself as he would like, and because he finds in himself a heap of inevitable miseries and a void of real and lasting goods on who is unable to fill it.
""Omul care nu se iubește decât pe sine, nu urăște nimic mai mult decât faptul de a fi singur cu sine însuși. El nu caută nimic decât pentru sine și nu fuge de nimic ca de sine pentru ci atunci când se privește, el nu se găsește așa cum ar dori și pentru că află în sine o îngrămădire de mizerii inevitabile și un vid de bunuri reale și trainice pe care este incapabil de a-l umple."
