Atomic Habits
James Clear
By now, playing the authoritative emperor came… I wouldn’t say naturally, but easily enough. Facing the Underworld’s dangers and the Nightlords’ madness had burned away what little fear I may have had of my fellow man. The key was to act like King Mictlantecuhtli—to speak with the voice of an ancient mountain who stood above mortal concerns. A god who didn’t expect to be obeyed but knew others would bow before his power and wisdom.
The Last Emperor
Maxime J. Durand and Void Herald
Abstraction is thus almost a necessity for communication, since it enables us to represent our experiences with simple and rapidly made “grasps” of the mind. When we say that we can think only of one thing at a time, this is like saying that the Pacific Ocean cannot be swallowed at a gulp. It has to be taken in a cup, and downed bit by bit. Abstractions and conventional signs are like the cup; they reduce experience to units simple enough to be comprehended one at a time.
