    Amor fati: that shall henceforth be my love! I do not want to wage war against the ugly. I do not want to accuse—I do not even want to accuse those who accuse. Let looking away be my only denial! And all in all and on the whole: I want someday to be purely and simply a Yes-sayer!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.
