Summer days are just made for doing things, especially if it’s nothing.

'The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resolutely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit.'

'It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death.'

'It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.'"
- "Temple of the Winds" by Terry Goodkind

Terry Goodkind is good. I enjoyed the Wizard's Rules series.

Green Ogre: Yeah, Terry Goodkind is pretty good.
