“When you decide to go in the opposite direction of everyone dedicated to misunderstanding You, and not look back, you start running into everyone who's waiting to accept You and the earth shifts right under feet, like that annoying song And now, things that annoyed you, and people that took you for granted no longer threaten your peace Only it can be slightly brutal; the cloud that stays- the epiphany that giggles while running down the hall, You always held the power.”

“Y'know you act like you're owning up to being a lameass. But you're socially awkward and you're a pain to deal with. You've got a big attitude. We can all see that from just lookin' at ya. But, even so, who even gives a crap about that? How can any of us feel disappointed when we see how something that hurts us hurts you, too, and how stupidly serious you can be, worrying about it? Why do you have to apologize when you just did what's natural and we've done the same to you? Did you really think that'd be enough to piss us off? Get real, dude! No one like that exists here in Furin! It doesn't matter how socially awkward you are, or what a pain you can be! You still charge straight into trouble just to protect your friends! You're really cool for it, too! I... no, we... really, seriously like you for you who are!”

“Yes, greed is the worst vice. To escape its grip one must cultivate that self-control which is the scaffolding of every virtue. With self-control come patience, moderation, gentleness and generosity. Some people might take self-control for weakness but it is really tolerance, openness to all experience, a non-judgmental acceptance of all that life may send our way. A person does not need a forest ashram if they can exercise such self-control while engaged fully in the daily round.”
