FT Legacy 1 Quotes

“The Swift pulled over right next to her Thar. The shining black of the Thar next to the fading red of the Swift. The cars knew each other very well. They seemed to greet each other and reminisce their many nights together, standing side by side. They also appeared to regret the long hiatus in the past year when they hadn’t seen each other, not even once. If only their thoughts could be conveyed to their masters. But they seemed to cherish the present moment. Nothing could change that. They were close to one another again. They had found one another again. Maybe this moment could reshape the future. The machines hoped so and at the core of their engines that created such hopeful thoughts was the intense love of their once seemingly inseparable masters.”

“The Wayfarer.

Let me be an innocent wayfarer traversing the roads of life without preconceived notions.
Without an ounce of anger toward the men I meet along the way
Without judging them for who they are
Embracing everyone as equals
Lending a helping hand to needy
Cherishing whatever little love bestowed upon me.
Carrying with me only the fragrance of the best moments
Let me walk unhindered by emotions.
My joy shall come from the walk itself rather than from the expectations in my mind.
My joy shall soar from every step taken.
Let me be the humble wanderer in nature’s abode.
Loving all, living every moment
I shall not differentiate pleasure and pain, for they are brothers entwined.
I shall not worry while I’m teary-eyed.
I shall not hurry while I’m fury-eyed.
Patience and silence—the two essentials of eternal wisdom
I shall master them or die trying while I walk the promenade of life!”

“Moments that make and moments that break. Eventually, the destructive ones tend to sum up our lives”

“Certain trivial moments in our lives create ripples that have a lasting effect all our lives, leave marks on our character, change our behaviour, create new ambitions, and set us on a path to success or sometimes to certain doom. Something like a butterfly effect”

“You must become a prey to know the hunter. Yes. That’s true.
You must endure the pain to know what others unknown to you must have felt.
‘No cause can be causeless,’ a wise man once wrote.
We need that jolting moment to arouse us from slumber.
Henceforth, the pages in history will be written in different fonts and colours. The words shall be Bolder! Stronger! Fearsome!
The prey has woken its killer instinct, or as they say—the hunters become the hunted.”

“In the battle against the heartless monstrous beasts, the mighty warrior first rips off his face to become a daunting faceless demon.
He murders his soul to become a soulless leviathan; he wanders the world as an omnipresent ghost, haunting the wrongdoers, even in their dreams, rendering them sleepless and paralysed in bed, killing them ever so slowly from within even before they are truly killed.”

“When I feel I lost the fight long ago in my mind, a shadow stands before me, shielding me from my enemy. A shadow made of anger and revolt, a shadow that is the amalgamation of all traits I lack and desperately seek.

A shadow that jolts the inner sanctum of the enemy.
A shadow that mockingly belittles my demons.
A shadow that engulfs the villainous monsters in one go, letting the light shine at peace every-where.
A shadow that induces dreadful fear even inside the fear-inducing evil.
An answer to all my questions.”

“Evil in its best form, disguised as our fellow human possessed by greed, envy, lust, and power, chase me wherever I go. I’m always on the run, hiding desperately in the dark to protect myself.
Silly of me for not realising that the darkness is the thriving kingdom of the villainous monsters.
I run to the meadows, then into a forest, and then into a land of thorny shrubs.
When I run, I regret being a coward, ashamed of being unable to slay the demon chasing me.
I know how I lost a part of me because of its trickery, yet I run, yet I hide in shame with regret for allowing evil to play its trick on me. I regret being the fool.”

“I was akin to Francis Bacon’s ‘Merchant of Light’ collecting experiences in the few days I spent with wonderful people and my dearest. Imbibing everything the mystically beautiful place revealed. I did it every year instead of every twelve years, as professed by Bacon. I brought with me the optimism, energy, compassion, humility, love and aroma of the wood and leaves. Best experiences of my life.”

“We are wildeterminists. We blame fate sometimes. We brag we did it all by ourselves sometimes. Sometimes, we regret not acting with our free will at a time point for our failures in life. We are neither here nor there, and so we are nowhere.”
― Udayakumar D.S., FT Legacy 1: Who is Frank Twine?

“I don’t believe in fate. I don’t want to. Because once
you submit to it, you are nothing but a puppet on
strings. Let the hands that move me be mine. Let the thought that moves those hands be mine.”

“The kind of world you inherit is your birth gift from your ancestors.
The kind of world you leave behind is your death gift for the next generations.
Leave it in a better state than you inherited.”

“Our mind is an enigma.
Our mind is our boon.
Our mind is our curse.
Our mind is our guardian.
Our mind is our strength.
Our mind is our vulnerability.
Our mind is our redemption.
Our mind is us.
We know so little about us.”
