All things come into being by conflict of opposites.

Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back.

The awake share a common world, but the asleep turn aside into private worlds.
