About This Quote

In the world of ideas, fire is a very potent one. It can harden steel or burn away its impurities without damaging the core. Fire is an essential element of the human experience, and the same can be said for life. In fact, if you’re not careful, fire can even destroy what it never touched in the first place. But fire rarely does anything in vain: by creating and destroying, it keeps us on our toes and makes us more alive than we would be otherwise.
