i think if i tried to devour the world, at best i’d get indigestion, at worse horribly sick, its fumes filling my lungs, its oils rushing through my digestive tract. so when will we find on the shore the tossed and broken bodies of those who tried to devour the alien creatures of the deep?
the ideas here are better than the book. i don’t know why stirner thinks the writings of bruno bauer et all are such a massive impediment to the egoist project, and i don’t know what he is talking about for over half of it. and yet i love him, deeply. there is much of value to be gleaned from the latter pages of this volume, but it is such a process to do so.

Well, hot damn this book took me a long time to read, and never have I reread so many passages. Stirner, like just about all philosophers I've read, takes the long route to get where he's going, but he gets there. I haven't been swayed towards egoism but I'd love to have more conversations about this book and read more Stirner.

 If something didn't count as sacred for people, indeed the floodgates would open to willfulness, to boundless subjectivity!
