“For only he who is alive is in the right. Farewell, thou dream of so many millions; farewell, thou who hast tyrannized over thy children for a thousand years! Tomorrow they carry thee to the grave; soon thy sisters, the peoples, will follow thee. But, when they have all followed, then—mankind is buried, and I am my own, I am the laughing heir!” – Max Striner, The Ego & Its Own
