It is the difference in knowledge that commands respect. This is why the true test of every student lies in the humiliation of his master

The children here play with bones instead of sticks, and whenever I see them, I cannot but wonder whether the humeri they brandish are faithful or heathen
Heathen, I should think, for the bones seem bent

If all human events possess purpose, then all human deeds possess purpose. And yet when men vie with men, the purpose of no man comes to fruition: the result always falls somewhere in between. The purpose of deeds, then, cannot derive from the purposes of men, because all vie with all men. This means the deeds of men must be willed by something other than men. From this it follows that we are all slaves.
Who then is our Master?

How does one learn innocence? How does one teach ignorance? For to be them is to know them not. And yet they are the immovable point from the compass of life swings, the measure of all crime and compassion, the rule of all wisdom and folly. They are the Absolute

One can look into the future, or one can look at the future. The latter is by far the more instructive.

If one doubts that passion and reason govern the fate of nations, one need only look to meetings between the Great. Kings and emperors are unused to treating with equals, and are often excessively relived or repelled as a result. The Nilnameshi have a saying, "When princes meet, they either find brothers or themselves," which is to say, either peace or war.

Every monumental work of the State is measured by cubits. Every cubit is measured by the length of the Aspect-Emperor's arm. And the Aspect-Emperor's arm, they say, stands beyond measure. But I say the Aspect-Emperor's is measured by the length of a cubit, and that all cubits are measured by the works of the State. Not even the All stands beyond measure, for it more than what lies within it, and "more" is a kind of measure. Even the God has His cubits

It seems a strange thing to recall these events, like waking to find I had narrowly missed a fatal fall in the darkness. Whenever I think back, I'm filled with wonder that I still live, and with horror that I still travel by night
