Some men […] choose to seek greatness, while others are forced to it. it is always better to choose than to be forced. a man who is forced is never completely his own master. he must dance on the strings of those who forced him.

Some Men […] Choose To Seek Greatness,

More From Robert Jordan

His master’s pain was his pain. and it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. when the house started burning down, that type of negro would fight harder to put the master’s house out than the master himself would. but then you had another negro out in the field. the house negro was in the minority. the masses—the field negroes were the masses. they were in the majority. when the master got sick, they prayed that he’d die. if his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.

Everything comes by being! be the love you seek. be the friend you seek. be the lover you seek. be the honesty you seek. be the integrity you seek. be the patience you seek. be the tolerance you seek. be the compassion you seek.
Honesty Integrity Love You
I'm not a master. i'm a student-master, meaning that i have the knowledge of a master and the expertise of a master, but i'm still learning. so i'm a student-master. i don't believe in the word 'master.' i consider the master as such when they close the casket.

For me the world has always been more of a puppet show. but when one looks behind the curtain and traces the strings upward he finds they terminate in the hands of yet other puppets, themselves with their own strings which trace upward in turn, and so on. in my own life i saw these strings whose origins were endless enact the deaths of great men in violence and madness. enact the ruin of a nation.

I like the strings. i always have. because that's how it feels. but the strings make pain seem more fatal than it is, i think. we're not as frail as the strings would make us believe. and i like the grass, too. the grass got me to you, helped me to imagine you as an actual person. but we're not different sprouts from the same plant. i can't be you. you can't be me. you can imagine another well – but never quite perfectly, you know?
Pain Believe Thinking
We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.
