“The history books ever and always celebrate the daring battles, but the wars are won before and after the battles, not during. Battles lead to defeat, not victory. Hidetada, you must learn this. Fighting desperately is not glorious; it means you have already made a mistake and taken an unnecessary gamble.”
― Sebastian Marshall, MACHINA

“Language is fossil poetry. As the limestone of the continent consists of infinite masses of the shells of animalcules, so language is made up of images, or tropes, which now, in their secondary use, have long ceased to remind us of their poetic origin.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
