“The first achievement of the swordsman is when the sword is one with his hand – then even a blade of grass can be a lethal weapon.
The next achievement is when the sword is one with his heart – then he can strike even when a hundred paces away.
The ultimate achievement is when the sword has been shunned from his hand and his heart – he is one with himself and the world…”
– From the Chinese movie “Hero”. Saw it on World movies. N ya I know the sword is Japanese…
