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 NietzscheGenuine historical knowledge requires nobility of character, a profound understanding of human existence - not detachment and objectivity.
