Quotes by Kaoru Kurimoto (?)

“It was as if he had two faces, one of utmost calm, one of furious action; and he wore both with ease. He was like the animal whose face he wore, able to sit in silence for hours, without moving a muscle, then flying like a raging storm into battle, returning again to perfect calm when the fight was over.”
― Kaoru Kurimoto, The Leopard Mask
