As regards the celebrated struggle for life, it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality -- where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.
Friedrich NietzscheOur destiny rules over us, even when we are not yet aware of it; it is the future that makes laws for our today.
