Quote by Simon Keynes

“The practice of buying off the Vikings will always be associated with Æthelred in particular… [but] it was not something which proceeded from Æthelred alone, and indeed it was not uniquely characteristic of Æthelred’s reign… In 991 Ealdorman Byrhtnoth rejected the option of paying tribute and resolved to fight: he died a heroic death, and gained immortality in 325 lines of Old English verse, but the countryside was ravaged and tribute had to be paid nonetheless; there were other instances of heroic resistance, but perhaps the English learnt a lesson at Maldon which they found hard to forget.”

“The purpose of this universe is far behind definite human intellect, as any purpose should have an end. This universe is an indefinite cosmos with no definite starting point and with no definite ending point. I said both the universe and the life begins within itself and ends within itself, just like the light begins within itself and ends within itself. The one, who create himself and create others is God including land, water, sky, fire, air, birth, and death.”

“When the filly, the maiden, the boy and the warrior are ready to take up their Destinies, each will know it. The filly will become a mare, the maiden a woman, the boy a man. The Warrior, however, will pick up a stick and walk from his mother, his people, and his land, and never once remove his eyes from the true red road that lies beneath his feet. And yet, he will never know that he is on his Path. (From Brothers of Light)”

“For me, drinking became a sin issue over a substance issue and it needed to go and be put back to its appropriate place in my life. I am somewhere on this journey. I can feel it as a weight slowing me down, holding me back, and making it so tough to endure and persevere. When I stopped abusing drinking, I experienced freedom in ways I cannot describe but would feel very similar to dropping dead weight when you are running. You get a second wind, you get a pop in your step, and you feel like you can run faster than you ever thought possible.”
