It is an error to divide people into the living and the dead: there are people who are dead-alive, and people who are alive-alive. The dead-alive also write, walk, speak, act.

Sometimes, however, we become fully aware and realize that error as well as truth can move and spur us on to action.

Arthur Schopenhauer
