Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god but who knows my god?

There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?

Not necessity, not desire - no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything - health, food, a place to live, entertainment - they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

I love those who do not know how to live for today.
