Reducir las necesidades al mínimo, para no depender en nada de los demás.

To need to dominate others is to need others. The commander is dependent.

La libertad es la posibilidad de aislamiento. Eres libre si puedes alejarte de los hombre, sin que te obligue a buscarlos la necesidad de dinero, o la necesidad gregaria, o el amor, o la gloria, o la curiosidad, que no pueden encontrar alimento en el silencio y la soledad.

Caesar gave the ultimate definition of ambition when he said: 'Better to be the chief of a village than a subaltern in Rome'.

No subordinarse a nada, ni a un hombre ni a un amor ni a una idea; tener siempre la independencia distante que consiste en no creer en la verdad ni, si la hubiese, en la utilidad de conocerla, ése es el estado en el que, según me parece, deber transcurrir en sí misma, la vida intelectual de los que no viven sin pensar.

One who has never lived under constraints doesn't know what freedom is.
