Men become utilitarian out of fear of the alternative—the chaos of tangled or tepid desires, of rootlessness and boredom. - John Carroll

Nietzsche … combines, in effect, Christ’s harsh sayings: ‘let the dead bury their dead’ and ‘narrow is the way which leadeth unto life’.

Stirner … holds to a joy-principle rather than to a pleasure-principle.

Nietzsche himself was a great moralist; his writings abound with value judgments about individuals, character types, modes of thinking, and national traits. It is as if he develops immoralist psychology in order to tame his own nature, to keep his own greatest vice in check.
