Overcoming is impossible without death. Even the most longed for changes have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves... we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Overcoming is the idea that any improvement in a person is made at the expense of what that person used to be.

Overcoming is at the same time a kind of preserving insofar as it involves clarifying its true sense in the form of a transcendental-relative idea.

Overcoming is valuable. Overcoming difficulties leads to courage, self-respect, and knowing yourself.


Overcoming is always beyond language. Those things for which we find words are things we have already overcome.
Overcoming is the idea that the creator in us thrives only at the expense of the creature in us.

Overcoming is ultimately a self-making project. If one wants to overcome the whole world, one ought to overcome oneself.
