"My idea is that every specific body strives to become master over all
space and to extend its force (its will to power) and to thrust back
all that resists its extension. But it continually encounters similar
efforts on the part of other bodies and ends by coming to an
arrangement ("union") with those of them that are sufficiently related
to it: thus they then conspire together for power. And the process
goes on."
