— Miyamoto Musashi

„It is difficult to know yourself if you do not know others. To all Ways there are side-tracks. If you study a Way daily, and your spirit diverges, you may think you are obeying a good way, but objectively it is not the true Way. If you are following the true Way and diverge a little, this will later become a large divergence. You must realise this.“
— Miyamoto Musashi
„It is difficult to realise the true Way just through sword-fencing. Know the smallest things and the biggest things, the shallowest things and the deepest things.“
— Miyamoto Musashi
„As if there could be true stories: things happen in one way, and we retell them in the opposite way.“
