“To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for.”
Paths of the Dead (2002)
Contexte: To seek understanding before taking action, yet to trust my instincts when action is called for. Never to avoid danger from fear, never to seek out danger for its own sake. Never to conform to fashion from fear of eccentricity, never to be eccentric from fear of conformity.
