Quote #7
I do not surrender my treasures, nor do I share them. The fortune of my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom. (11.11)
Equality 7-2521 refuses to share here. He has no obligation to share with others, he says. Rand thinks you need to unlearn what may have learned as a kid. The highest goal in life is your own happiness, and so whatever is essential to that life and happiness you have to protect from the others who will try to take it away. Also, Rand may be alluding to (and rewriting) Biblical scripture here (see "Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory").
Quote #8
I am neither foe nor friend to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve of me. And to earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned. (11.13)
Equality 7-2521 tells us that he does not have any obligation to serve "mankind," or to love it. He can only love people who he respects and cares for, and that doesn't just come automatically. Other individuals earn his love and respect, on the basis of their own individual qualities and their interactions with him. The people he likes may be an integral part of his own happiness (like Liberty 5-3000 is). This constitutes another key idea of Randian egoism.
Quote #9
For the word "We" must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man's soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man's torture by men, and of an unspeakable lie. (11.15)
What's the root of all evil according to Equality 7-2521? The first-person plural. The moment society or any group larger than the individual is made more important than the individual, the individual's freedom is threatened. And that's both not so great for individuals, and immoral (according to Rand's philosophy, the highest moral goal of each individual life is happiness). It's also bad for society, in the long run, as Equality 7-2521's society shows clearly.
