Quote for the day

“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…

Douglas Adams quotes

So currently I am reading the Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy (H2G2, as it is popularly known), so thought would just put in some of the most brilliant stuff Douglas Adams has written:

“The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.”
