Kage Quotes

“To train in the martial arts is like being apprenticed to frustration, to the burn of effort, and the unattainable criteria of perfection. There’s no glamour, no reward beyond the ones you create in your own heart. You struggle along the path and your teacher goads you or challenges you, always three steps ahead and always waiting, his eyes betraying nothing but demanding everything. And you try to give it.”
― John Donohue, Kage: The Shadow

“In the post-modern academic world, truth is often alleged to be relative.”
― John Donohue, Kage: The Shadow
