Jack Weatherford
“Hun is the Mongolian word for human being, and they called their Hun ancestors Hun-nu, the people of the sun.”
Jack Weatherford, Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World

Haruki Murakami
“I crossed my legs on the sky-blue sofa and fixed my gaze at the drama of his hand and ballpoint pen, now exactly at eye level.”
Haruki Murakami, A Wild Sheep Chase

Patrick Rothfuss
“This may seem a little ghoulish, but it is simply the way of the world. Looters become looted, while time and tide make us mercenaries all.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

Ueda Akinari
“Pilgrims to the Mausoleum recite the chant Namu Daishi Henjō Kongō: “I put my faith in the great teacher who brings light to all the people, Universal Adamantine Illuminator.“2”
Ueda Akinari, Tales of Moonlight and Rain (Translations from the Asian Classics

Thich Nhat Hanh
“If something wonderful happens to one of us, it happens to all of us. If something awful happens to one of us, it happens to all of us. This answer comes from the insight of no-self. With the insight of no-self you see that your suffering, your fear, is a collective suffering. With the insight of no-self, you see that happiness is a collective happiness. We are not separated.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, How to Relax
