Sweep aside those hatred-eaten mystics, who pose as friends of humanity
and preach that the highest virtue man can practice is to hold his own life as
of no value. Do they tell you that the purpose of morality is to curb man’s
instinct of self-preservation? It is for the purpose of self-preservation that

your mind.
“No, you do not have to live as a man; it is an act of moral choice. But

unfit for existence, no longer human and less than animal, a thing that knows
nothing but pain and drags itself through its span of years in the agony of
unthinking self-destruction.
