Mono no aware

She is dressed in golden brown for me

Sheds her leaves like a second skin

There is fire, in your eyes tonight

No brighter sun, no darker moon

Sister Morrigu

This way comes

“There is no field of activity for great men without the coming of great wars, great struggles and great revolutions.”

“Bravery is the foremost Virtue of Shakespeare’a Heroes; from it springs both that Heroic Attitude to Life and contempt for the cowardly masses who pursue the pleasures of life and would rather live long in cowardice than, if they must, die young in Bravery.”

“Beowulf calls Sigmund’s and Sinfjötli’s deeds foul as well as fair, the Völsunga saga portrays the two as outlaws living in the woods by robbery. The old Indo-European notion that warriors bear a burden of sin was thus still alive in northern Europe through most of the Middle Ages. So was the custom of sending young men as wolves into the wilds for training in survival and conquest of new land. Sigi, Sigmund’s grandfather, was such a wolf-warrior guided by Woden. Sigmund and Sinfjötli are thus true-to-type wolf warriors: of ambiguous morals, boundless strength, and fierceness in battle. They were also men to whom Woden’s presence brought the power and magic that was in the beginning.”

I say unto you: one must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star. I say unto you: you still have chaos in yourselves.

“What you have inherited from your fathers, earn it in order to possess it.”

I've watched my friend pour their absolute soul into this album for months, and it’s finally seeing the light of day on the 7th. I’m incredibly proud of what they’ve created, and I know you guys are going to love it just as much as I do.

“Who has not, for the sake of his good reputation, sacrificed himself once?”

"And once you are awake, you shall remain awake eternally"

“People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.”

“Beauty has been stolen from the people and sold back to them under the concept of luxury.”

“Don’t vanish into the vast swamp of mediocrity by believing maturity is gained by abandoning one’s ideals, values, and goals, and ultimately, losing self-esteem. Hold onto that noble vision, don’t betray that fire; give it shape, reality, and purpose.”

Be radical, have principles, be absolute, be that which the bourgeoisie calls an extremist: give yourself without counting or calculating, don't accept what they call ‘the reality of life' and act in such a way that you won't be accepted by that kind of ‘life', never abandon the principle of struggle.

"What makes Heroic? — To face simultaneously one’s greatest suffering and one’s highest hope."

"Kali Yuga must be mastered in you. The golden age will return to your soul first."
