Quote by Thomas Merton
“Proto se tedy armáda staví lstí , vede se kupředu za získáním výhod a neustále mění svůj tvar, člení se a znovu se spojuje. Jen tak dokáže být rychlá jako vítr, nehybná a stálá jako les. Dokáže útočit a ničit jako oheň; stojí-li, je jako hory. Poznat ji je stejně těžké jako poznat tmu, ale pohybuje se jako hrom.”
