Paul Kriwaczek
“Susa, the great holy city, abode of their gods, seat of their mysteries, I conquered. I entered its palaces, I opened their treasuries where silver and gold, goods and wealth were amassed... I destroyed the ziggurat of Susa. I smashed its shining copper horns. I reduced the temples of Elam to naught; their gods and goddesses I scattered to the winds. The tombs of their ancient and recent kings I devastated, I exposed to the sun, and I carried away their bones toward the land of Ashur. I devastated the provinces of Elam and on their lands I sowed salt.”
Paul Kriwaczek, Babylon: Mesopotamia and the Birth of Civilization

“I told them, ‘If you don’t know how to live on anymore, then live for me! If you don’t know the meaning of your life, then make me that meaning and use me as your reason to live.”
Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù, Heaven Official's Blessing: Tian Guan Ci Fu, Vol. 1

Kentaro Miura
“Struggle. Keep struggling and struggling until the end of ends, then struggle some more. There's no fighting just to die.”
Kentaro Miura, Berserk, Vol. 13

Lao Tzu
“Everybody says my way is great but improbable. All greatness is improbable. What's probable is tedious and petty.”
Lao Tzu

Lao Tzu
“Therefore, when the Way is lost there is virtue.

When virtue is lost there is benevolence.

When benevolence is lost there is righteousness.

When righteousness is lost there are rituals.

Rituals are the end of fidelity and honesty,

And the beginning of confusion.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
