“May the Hum resonate.”
― Yurei Legend of the Shadow Blade
― Yurei Legend of the Shadow Blade
“I don't like the word 'allegorical', I don't like the word 'symbolic' - the word I really like is 'mythic', and people always think that means 'full of lies', whereas of course what it really means is 'full of truth which cannot be told in any other way but a story'.”
