"There are men who struggle for a day and they are good.
There are men who struggle for a year and they are better.
There are men who struggle many years, and they are better still.
But there are those who struggle all their lives:
These are the indispensable ones."
Berthold Brecht, from The Mother (1930) - song "In Praise of the Fighters"
