A batch of the best highlights from what Armand's read, .
Everything must be utilized. Especially the energy in volatile, potentially damaging emotions like fear and hate. You have to learn how to handle them—how to mine them—and once you master that craft, any negative emotion or event that bubbles up in your brain or gets lobbed your way, like a grenade, can be used as fuel to make you better. But to get there, you must literally listen to yourself.
Never Finished
David Goggins
Jackal ran a slow hand through his hair. “Warbler takes baths in the brothel, Hoodwink is spying on the hoof for him, the Claymaster can unleash the plague that ended the Incursion, and Fetch is a half-elf that the Sludge Man wants to sacrifice in the marsh.” “Hogshit!” Oats declared with raised eyebrows. “Warbler sits in those nasty tubs?” “I mean to stop it, Oats.” “Well, sure, you wouldn’t want the old man’s cock falling off.”
The Grey Bastards

Imagine the table has no pockets and is frictionless, so the balls just keep rebounding, never coming to a stop; how accurately can you predict the path of any given ball as it collides against the others? In 1978, the physicist Michael Berry calculated that you could predict only nine collisions before you would need to account for the gravitational effect of a person standing in the room. If your initial measurement of a ball’s position is off by even a nanometer, your prediction becomes useless within a matter of seconds.
