Yukio Mishima
“There's no doubt that he'll be heading straight for tragedy. It will be beautiful, of course, but should he throw his whole life away as a sacrificial offering to such a fleeting beauty—like a bird in flight glimpsed from a window?”
Yukio Mishima, Spring Snow

Jim Mattis
“Reading is an honor and a gift from a warrior or historian who—a decade or a thousand decades ago—set aside time to write. He distilled a lifetime of campaigning in order to have a “conversation” with you.”
Jim Mattis, Call Sign Chaos

“To be unconquerable by anything, we must be willing to lose everything.
Anything external we hold on to, even the most minor thing, automatically wields power over our mental state.”
Einzelgänger

Renee Rocco
“A hero will sacrifice the person they love to save the world, but a villain will sacrifice the world to save the person they love.”
Renee Rocco, Jester

James Clear
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity. This is one reason why meaningful change does not require radical change. Small habits can make a meaningful difference by providing evidence of a new identity. And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That's the paradox of making small improvements.”
James Clear, Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
