"The more
solitary the being and the more resolute it is in forming its own world
against all other conjunctures of worlds in the environment, the more
definite and strong the cast of its soul. Such is the difference between
the destiny of herbivores and that of the beast of prey. The one
destiny only menaces, the other enhances as well. The former depresses,
makes mean and cowardly, while the latter elevates through power and
victory, pride and hate. The former is a destiny that is imposed on one,
the latter a destiny that is identical with oneself. And the fight of
nature-within against nature without is thus seen to be, not misery, as
Schopenhauer and as Darwin’s “struggle for existence” regard it, but a
grand meaning that ennobles life, the amor fati of Nietzsche. And it is to this kind and not the other that Man belongs."
-Spengler
