You Have to Be Very Careful" You have to be careful telling things. Some ears are tunnels. Your words will go in and get lost in the dark. Some ears are flat pans like the miners used looking for gold. What you say will be washed out with the stones. You look for a long time till you find the right ears. Till then, there are birds and lamps to be spoken to, a patient cloth rubbing shine in circles, and the slow, gradually growing possibility that when you find such ears they already know.

Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit.

What the world needs is more thoroughly evil people and fewer borderline pigheads
~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
