The egoist in the absolute sense is not the man who sacrifices others.
He is the man who stands above the need of using others in any manner.
He does not function through them. He is not concerned with them in

thinking, not in his desires, not in the source of his energy. He does
not exist for any other man -- and he asks no other man to exist for
him. This is the only form of brotherhood and mutual respect possible
between men.
