• El interés propio no es egoísmo miope. Es lo que interesa a los participantes, lo que valoran, los objetivos que persiguen. El científico que busca avanzar las fronteras de su disciplina, el misionero que busca convertir a los infieles a la verdadera fe, el filántropo que busca consolar a los necesitados... todos persiguen sus intereses, tal y como los ven, tal y como los juzgan según sus propios valores.

Intento variar. Creo que es un reflejo de mí: padre de familia, actor y filántropo.
