Jake Davis said: " Think X-Men in the early 1930’s. Jake Sullivan is easily one of the most simple yet intriguing characters I’ve come across and the series is excellent through and through. "

To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one onf the things that discipline - training - is about.”

“Leave the problems of God to God and karma to karma. Today you’re here and nothing you can do will change that. Today you’re alive and here and honored, and blessed with good fortune. Look at this sunset, it’s beautiful, neh? This sunset exists. Tomorrow does not exist. There is only now. Please look. It is so beautiful and it will never happen ever again, never, not this sunset, never in all infinity.

Lose yourself in it, make yourself one with nature and do not worry about karma, yours, mine, or that of the village.”
― James Clavell, Shōgun
