Bonus TIL: You know that phrase "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"? Well, today I learned that that isn't the whole phrase. In full, it's "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger; what kills me makes me incredibly strong". The author of that quote, Ernst Jünger, is one of the most interesting writers I've encountered, though I know very little about him. He was a soldier in World War I, and he was one of the few who... actually kind of liked it. I recommend googling "Ernst Jünger quotes" and read a few of his other quotes, and see if you can try to make sense of that man.
