Friedrich Nietzsche
“For fanaticism is the only form of willpower that even the weak and insecure can be brought to attain.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs

Reinhold Messner
“Not only during the ascent, but also during the descent my willpower is dulled. The longer I climb the less important the goal
seems to me, the more indifferent I become to myself. My attention
has diminished, my memory is weakened. My mental fatigue is now
greater than the bodily. It is so pleasant to sit doing nothing - and therefore so dangerous. Death through exhaustion is like death
through freezing - a pleasant one.”
Reinhold Messner, The Crystal Horizon: Everest-The First Solo Ascent
