It has ripped us up, but it has also rooted us, weaving us together beneath the surface of the ground and leaving us stronger than ever.

Dying can teach us a great deal about living.”

“I am no opponent of criticism. I am no dogmatist, and do not feel
myself touched by the critic's tooth with which he tears the dogmatist
to pieces. If ! were a 'dogmatist', I should place at the head a dogma,
a thought, an idea, a principle, and should complete this as a 'syste­-
matist', spinning it out to a system, a structure of thought. Conversely,
if I were a critic, an opponent of the dogmatist, I should carry on the
fight of free thinking against the enthralling thought, I should defend
thinking against what was thought. But I am neither the champion
of a thought nor the champion of thinking; for 'I', from whom I start,
am not a thought, nor do I consist in thinking. Against me, the
unnameable, the realm of thoughts, thinking, and mind is shattered.”
― Max Stirner, The Ego and Its Own
