Quotes

It was just past noon, but a tranquil atmosphere filled the room. Only the thunk, thunk, of someone chopping wood in the distance, and the sound of livestock outside, could be faintly heard through the walls. The two of them liked this kind of atmosphere. As fellow followers of the blade, this background noise was far more pleasant than the hustle and bustle of the city that could disturb the mind.

I didn’t think everyone had to be a saint, but at the very least, all adults had a responsibility to provide what little guidance they could to children who knew nothing about the world.

This guy was scum. There was no mistaking that. It wasn’t my place to pass judgment on him, though. That would be vigilantism.

    So sweet. Perfectly enkindles the love and passion to give back to a teacher that truly edifies their students just by being themselves. Really beautiful.
