| 1d14a83 | In comparison with the Genesis myth, the modern myth in which humanity is marching to a better future is mere superstition. As the Genesis story teaches, knowledge cannot save us from ourselves. If we know more than before, it means only that we have greater scope to enact our madness. But - as the Genesis myth also teaches - there is no way we can rid ourselves of what we know . . . The message of Genesis is that in the most vital areas of.. | John N. Gray | ||

He realized that the mysterious figure must have slipped in through a side door while everyone's attention was on the Craftmasters as they made their entrance.

Halt was an unnerving person. He had a habit of coming up on you when y.. | John Flanagan | ||

| d306b59 | These scars on my body," Alexander declared, "were got for you, my brothers. Every wound, as you see, is in the front. Let that man stand forth from your ranks who has bled more than I, or endured more than I for your sake. Show him to me, and I will yield to your weariness and go home." Not a man came forward.

| 75d7bf2 | Individuals who are realized in their own lives almost never criticize others. If they speak at all, it is to offer encouragement. Watch yourself. Of all the manifestations of Resistance, most only harm ourselves. Criticism and cruelty harm others as well. | Steven Pressfield | ||
| 928d8ef | Resistance will tell you anything to keep you from doing your work. It will perjure, fabricate, falsify; seduce, bully, cajole. Resistance is protean. It will assume any form, if that's what it takes to deceive you. It will reason with you like a lawyer or jam a nine-millimeter in your face like a stickup man. Resistance has no conscience. It will pledge anything to get a deal, then double-cross you as soon as your back is turned. If you ta.. | Steven Pressfield | ||

| 0db6cc6 | When a warrior fights not for himself, but for his brothers, when his most passionately sought goal is neither glory nor his own life's preservation, but to spend his substance for them, his comrades, not to abandon them, not to prove unworthy of them, then his heart truly has achieved contempt for death, and with that he transcends himself and his actions touch the sublime. | Steven Pressfield | ||
