“Fate, I think, is a thief.”
“Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.”
“Snow falling soundlessly in the middle of the night will always fill my heart with sweet clarity”
“No mortal ear could have heard the kelpie passing through the night, for the great black hooves of it were as soundless in their stride as feathers falling.”
“Nobody is fully ready for paradise. That is why 'the kingdom come' will be like thief in the night.”
