Zachary Mason Quotes

A Long Time From Now Someone Unknown To Me Will Stand On The White Plain Where I Now Stand. He Will Speak A Different Language And The Mountains In The Distance May Have Been Ground Down But There Are Certain Constants That Will Reliably Inform His Life -- Kings Like Great Trees Whose Roots Are Watered In Ignorance, Men Who Come To War Reluctantly Only To Discover They Have The Souls Of Jackals, And Fortresses Like Mountains, As Immovable And Inevitable. I Anticipate That A Flash Of Intuition Will Make Him Look At The Tumulus Or Crater Or Clamorous Sprawling City Where Troy Once Stood And Intuit How Many Men Once Bent Their Minds Toward Its Destruction.
