Henrik IbsenTo live is to war with trolls.
About This Quote
The author of this quote, James Ross, had a very unusual way of referring to the battles that we fight in everyday life. Instead of saying "war" he used the word "troll". He believed that the battles of life against trolls are more important than any other battle. It is these battles of trolls against us that shape our lives and make us who we are. Trolls represent what is wrong in the world, and it is only through fighting them that we can become good people.
