Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche
English (Source)
Making a living even today - even in our transitional age, when there are so few compelling circumstances - forces almost every European man to assume a certain role, this is his so-called occupation, some are given the freedom, a kind of apparent freedom, to play this role he can choose for himself, but most of them are forced to take on the role chosen for him. The result is rather strange: at a more advanced age, almost all Europeans confuse themselves with their role, they themselves become victims of their own "good little game", they themselves forget how much mood, chance and whim reigned over them when their "occupation" was decided - and how much else they could have played a role: but then it's too late!
