“Nearly all men are afraid, and they don't even know what causes their fear - shadows, perplexities, dangers without names or numbers, fear of a faceless death. But if you can bring yourself to face no shadows but real death, described and recognizable, by bullet or saber, arrow or lance, then you need never be afraid again, at least not in the same way you were before. Then you will be a man set apart from other men, safe where other men may cry in terror. This is the great reward. Maybe this is the only reward. Maybe this is the final purity all ringed with filth. - Cyrus”
