Famous quotes containing the words related and/or terms:

    “The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “I’ve never been on good terms with God, but now I’m becoming His intimate, for He is truly absolute and extremely legitimate.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
