The Great Man ... is colder, harder, less hesitating, and without respect and
without the fear of "opinion"; he lacks the virtues that accompany respect and
"respectability", and altogether everything that is the "virtue of the herd".
If he cannot lead, he goes alone. ... He knows he is incommunicable: he finds
it tasteless to be familiar. ... When not speaking to himself, he wears a mask.
There is a solitude within him that is inaccessible to praise or blame.
