More From Dave Eggers

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

The arts speak across epochs. if you think that people started to build a cathedral in 1315 and the people worked on that cathedral, it wasn't going to be finished until 1585. so they were thinking 200 years from now. maybe by the time i die, this wall might be put up.

Put three grains of sand inside a vast cathedral, and the cathedral will be more closely packed with sand than space is with stars.
