"Why humanity exists should not concern us at all. But why you exist, that is what you should ask yourself, and if you do not have a ready answer, then set goals for yourself, high and noble goals, and sacrifice for them! I know no better purpose in life than to sacrifice yourself, striving for the great and the impossible..."
Friedrich Nietzsche
