Thoughts that stuck with me:
It is not up to someone or something to be "interesting" to you.
Everything is just matter; it's *you* who needs to meet the world with interest.

When saints and gods go to war, it is mortals who get trapped in the middle. It is mortals who will take hold of their own fate. And it is mortals who will live to see the sun shine another day.
