Kindle Notes & Highlights
Denying or attempting to utterly control emotion, Revan felt, was a fool’s game. Jealousy was actually the result of ill-prepared Jedi being overwhelmed by feelings they had never learned to face. Revan believed Jedi could be taught to use positive emotions like love and happiness to strengthen their connection to the Force in the same way that hatred and anger gave power to those who followed the dark side.
“Uh, uh, uh,” Revan said, wagging his finger at her. “There is no emotion; there is peace.”
“Peace is a lie; there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength.” The words came easily to Scourge; the mantra had been drilled into his brain during his training until it was second nature. “Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory my chains are broken.”
“A warrior who doesn’t hope for battle has no hope during battle.”
“Mandalore has returned,” he declared. “I am Mandalore the Preserver, and I will restore the honor and glory of my people!”
“I am Revan reborn,” he said to Nyriss. “And before me you are nothing.”
“Fear is only an emotion; a trick the mind plays on us. You must learn to set your fear aside.”
He understood that the two sides of the Force were more closely intertwined with each other than either the Jedi or the Sith would ever admit. He had learned to balance on the knife-edge between them, drawing on both the light and dark sides for strength.
