"Is it man's destiny to writhe and wait for someone else to pull them from the dark? Or is man meant to wallow in hopelessness as everything collapses before them? Man takes up the sword in order to shield the small wound in his heart... sustained from a far-off time beyond remembrance. And man wields the sword so he can die smiling in some far-off time beyond perception. It is man's destiny... to struggle."
