Not only is the self entwined in society; it owes society its existence in the most literal sense. The human is indissolubly linked with imitation: a human being only becomes human at all by imitating other human beings.
Theodor Adorno

Unlike a drop of water, which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man’s life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.
B. R. Ambedkar

We are one, after all, you and I, together we suffer, together exist and forever will recreate each other.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
