"Incoming fire has the right of way"

"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

"A small mind is easily filled with faith"

'Some may question your right to destroy ten billion people. But those who understand realise that you have no right to let them live.'

You are only entitled to the action, never to its fruits. Do not let the fruits of action be your motive, but do not attach yourself to nonaction.

You grieve for those who should not be grieved for;
yet you speak wise words.

Neither for the dead nor those not dead do the wise grieve.

Never was there a time when I did not exist
nor you nor these lords of men.
Neither will there be a time when we shall not exist;
we all exist from now on.
As the soul experiences in this body
childhood, youth, and old age,
so also it acquires another body;
the sage in this is not deluded.

Even when broken, a sword may still cut.

Only the strongest will may attempt such fate

Excuses are the refuge of the weak

“Time is a created thing. To say 'I don't have time,' is like saying, 'I don't want to.”

“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habit. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

“Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing.”

“Loss is not as bad as wanting more.”

“To hold, you must first open your hand. Let go”

“Some lose yet gain, others gain and yet lose.”

“Success is as dangerous as failure.

"Hope is as hollow as fear.”

“The person of superior integrity
does not insist upon his integrity.
For this reason, he has integrity.
The person of inferior integrity
never loses sight of his integrity;
For this reason, he lacks integrity.”

“The master observes the world but trusts his inner vision. He allows things to come and go. He prefers what is within to what is without.”

“Clay is fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness, that their use depends.”

“Love is a decision - not an emotion!”

the tranquil mind eschews impatience

There you go. Giving a fuck when it ain’t your turn to give a fuck.

They want me to stand with them, right? But where the fuck they at when they supposed to be standing by us? I mean, when shit goes bad and there’s hell to pay, where they at? This game is rigged, man. We like the little bitches on a chessboard.

Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down

worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, it empties today of its strength

The slower vengeance rippens the sweeter when plucked

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the daemon, I shall fear nothing. For I am what the daemon fears.

The fortunate may have time to repent

I am Ripper... Tearer... Slasher... Gouger. I am the Teeth in the Darkness, the Talons in the Night. Mine is Strength... and Lust... and Power! I AM BEOWULF!

Wise sir, do not grieve. It is always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world means waiting for our end. Let whoever can win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, that will be his best and only bulwark.

in order to wage war, one must be capable of being an enemy.

And remember, no matter where you go, there you are

Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?

In the end things must be as they are and have always been—the great things remain for the great, the abysses for the profound, the delicacies and thrills for the refined, and, to sum up shortly, everything rare for the rare. — Friedrich Nietzsche

武者修行

There is much that is difficult for the spirit, the strong, reverent spirit that would bear much: but the difficult and the most difficult are what its strength demands.

It is not my mind to ask questions that cannot be answered. That is the soul standing upon the crossroad of vacillation. You search for wisdom, but achieve only a stasis of will.

From every culvert and gutter erupted the scum of a thousand generations in the breeding, a great swarm of evil and destruction, and darkness consumed the city of

Do not waste your tears. I was not born to watch the world grow dim. Life is not measured in years, but by the deeds of men.

How Peaceful it must be for you to have a mind unburdened by thought.

"I believe that when the body is strong, the mind thinks strong thoughts. Time spent away from the Iron makes my mind degenerate. I wallow in a thick depression. My body shuts down my mind. The Iron is the best antidepressant I have ever found. There is no better way to fight weakness than with strength. Once the mind and body have been awakened to their true potential, it's impossible to turn back. The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds." Henry Rollins

The way I see it, there’s 2 types of people. Those who spend their lives trying to build a future & those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past. For too long, I’d been stuck in between, hidden in the dark.
