Weak in vice, weak in virtue, not even in fury does weak humanity know more than the norm. Equals, but different, we govern ourselves by our own norm, which, though harsh, will be freedom. To be free is to be your own imposed norm, like others except in the broad and harsh control and use of yourself...

Not just those who envy and hate us
limit and oppress us; those who love
us limit us no less.

May the gods grant me,
stripped of all affections,
the cold freedom of the heights
of nothingness.
Wanting nothing,
He's free.

Not having and not desiring,
he's equal, though man,
to the Gods...
