“We may have a lot of romantic ideas about Nature, but it has both a heavy and light aspect. Nature, as our primal ancestor and source of life, has the power to devour, destroy, and even abort us. We must learn to discern when we are approaching Nature with arrogance or the need to dominate, even if these attitudes lie beneath the surface.”

“Loulie frowned. "Is something wrong, ya sayyid?" The hunter flushed. "Forgive me, merchant. You are younger than I expected." Loulie resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She knew it was not just a matter of youth. Men were praised for being successful at a young age, but a successful woman was a perplexing puzzle. Most men did not know how to respond to her confidence. She raised a brow. "No, forgive me. I should not have spoke so sharply to a child.”

“Dignity isn't measured arithmetically. The smaller the event, the better one grasps the nuances of freedom and dignity. I sensed at that moment that I belonged to a people who were recognizing nuances. I remembered that while I was doing my military service and adjutant called to me in the courtyard and ordered me to go to his room and polish his shoes. I refused. Having exhausted threats of the rights of the Military Code, he gave in to astonishment and a sort of curiosity that I must call psychological. I explained to him that the act of shining shoes seemed in no way beneath me, that I willingly polished my barracks mate's shoes if he was late for inspection or too drunk to do this task himself. but I would not be ordered to shine shoes. I was not shot or punished.”

“If you love them, how do you know if they’re the right or wrong person? How can you tell when that love differs from all the rest?” Sitting on the stone ledge, she dipped her chin before deciding on her answer. “You ask yourself this: do they lift you up? Do they protect you and give you strength? Do they support your ambitions? Do they respect your opinions and treat you as an equal? A person can love you back, but if they don’t offer these basic essentials, how can love grow? My mother always told me that the heart of a man is revealed by not just what he’s willing to give but also what he’s willing to give up.” “Your mom sounds like a wise woman.” “She is.” Hope’s eyes were brimming with love. “I used to think she was talking about vices like smoking or gambling. She meant giving up things like pride, expectations, or negative traits that make a person weak. Money and promises mean nothing if they come from a man who wants to control you. Tak is my protector, but he doesn’t fight my battles. Even if it means swallowing his pride. Instead, he cheers me on. In return, I do the same.”

“I’m undeniable… Not by accident. Not by popularity. But by divine appointment. I’m not just a good idea—I’m a God answer. Where there was silence, I became the sound. Where there was longing, I became the laughter. Where there was waiting, I became the witness. I am the evidence of prayers whispered in midnight hours. I am the overflow of faith that refused to quit. I am the affirmation that heaven heard. I am the answered prayer. I am somebody and you can’t make me think differently. Let’s GO!”

“Wow... you, you really don't get it, do you? Have you even considered that something that's trivial to you could mean... so much more to someone else? You don't get to take the easy road out and just respect the parts of people that you recognize. And, pro tip: If you find yourself in a similar situation in the future where you're surrounded by people you don't understand— Try listening. It'll work a lot better for you than talking.”

“The Armenian king was neither a fool nor a philistine; he wrote histories and intricate speeches. For years he had shrewdly played Parthia and Rome off against each other. True to tenacious form, he approached but would neither sink to his knees before her nor acknowledge her rank. Instead he addressed her by name. All coercion was futile; though treated harshly, no member of the Armenian royal family would prostate himself before the queen of Egypt.”

“If you engage with someone as if they are faulty, or somehow inferior, you are attempting to direct or assign them to the low-range spectrum. Of course, none is obliged to accept these implications, but certain constructs make it near impossible to reject them. In the Artificium, parents regularly do this with their children. Already the imposing of authority, usually explained as a necessary teaching of discipline and manners, is a subterfuge method of control. The key aspect here is the imposition of authority. In lieu of authority, there should be respect, and respect is always earned. However, in taking the authority route, parents insist on obedience. Thus, they help instill the parameters for obedience later on. Obedient children become obedient adults. Obedient of what? It does not matter... Whatever the authority figure says is right. In this manner, parents can almost guarantee a smooth transition towards servitude or serfdom of their children later in life. In other words, they help raise slaves ― to authority.”

“The fact that I forgo having a father precisely because I do not recognize him as my genitor is an altogether different matter. I seek a man for whom I can feel respect. This is possible even in Eumeswil, albeit exceptional. One finds spiritual foster fathers. The bonds one forms with them are stronger than those of blood. Of course, such a statement must be handled with care, for a material substratum will always be present. In this respect, one owes one's father the link to an infinite network. In the act of procreation, he celebrates a mystery that is unknown even to him. His intrinsic nature might perish in it. Thus, we could be more closely related to an uncle or a distant forebear than to him. Genealogists and also biologists are familiar with such surprises; they often shatter their system. The genetic burden is endless; it reaches all the way into the inanimate world. It can bring forth creatures that died out long ago. This digression may indicate why I prefer adoption to natural kinship. The fatherhood becomes spiritual; we are chosen rela­tives and not natural ones. Thus, Eros must also prevail in spiri­tual kinship; adoption is a more sublime repetition of godfather­ing. We pick the godfather, the pater spiritualis; and he recognizes himself in us—he accepts us. That is a contact to which we owe life, albeit in a different, an—I dare say—immortal manner. I do not wish to speak of the heart; this is not the right place. My birth and the surroundings in which I was put may explain why I felt this kinship with three academic teachers, three profes­sors. If I had had a vocation for craft, art, religion, war, I would have had different models—and different ones again had I opted for a criminal career. During the tuna fishing, I watch the rais and his fishermen performing the drudgery; their obedience is simply the equip­ment of the trust that binds them to him; he is their leader, they have elected him. More fatherhood is to be felt here—even when he treats them severely—than when I sit with my old man, who swims in stagnant waters.”
