“Don’t you see how selfish you have been? You chose a noble career, not for the good you could accomplish, but for the personal happiness you expected to find in it.” “But I really wanted to help people.” “Because you thought you’d be good and virtuous doing it.” “Why—yes. Because I thought it was right. Is it vicious to want to do right?” “Yes, if it’s your chief concern. Don’t you see how egotistical it is? To hell with everybody so long as I’m virtuous.”
