The Initiate Brother Duology Quotes

“Long ago, in conversation with one of the Shonto, Hakata observed that most people preferred an ill considered answer to an intelligent question.

So it is that the poor are shut out into the wide world with all of its uncertainty but also with all of its purity and beauty.

Such is the nature of illusion.”
