“Human beings can get used to virtually anything, given plenty of time and no choice in the matter whatsoever.”

“a person can get used to anything if given enough time”

“It was the face of a human being who’d been constructed exclusively of wounds. Not time or history or ambition, nothing but wounds. The face of a person who could probably kill someone without feeling anything whatsoever.”

“If a warrior is not unattached to life and death, he will be of no use whatsoever. The saying that “All abilities come from one mind” sounds as though it has to do with sentient matters, but it is in fact a matter of being unattached to life and death. With such non-attachment one can accomplish any feat.”

“One can get past just about anything, given enough time, even when one shouldn’t.”

“The great thing about life-the most magnificent thing about being these sentient human beings-is that we have been given the power of choice.”
