Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
As regards the celebrated ''struggle for life,'' it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself he will never get to drink the strongest refreshing draught from his own innermost fountain.
