Emperor Meiji: Tell me how he died. Nathan Algren: I will tell you how he lived.

      "W—…ma Jesus.”

Her voice was swept under the overwhelming sense of solemnity that shrouded him, the stone severity of his words as they touched inexperienced and unaware ears. Camille’s brow creased as her gaze flitted lower, a tense unease surfacing from her cluelessness and slowly working to irritate her. The urge to respond was itching in her teeth, but her aversion to speaking when uncertain of the subject matter slowed her tongue. The last of Camille’s wants was always to show herself ignorant.

  “…how you find dat?”

Algren stood by in silence, observing the young woman as though he had never before had the pleasure of knowing one. She was exquisite, in every sense of the word, and in the best way possible. It appeared, as he looked on, that she was a little tongue-tied. All was well in that area, though; he stumbled upon many folk who were none too familiar with his lifestyle, and always, would he take time away from meditation to offer his thoughts.

"Patience, above all else. Once upon a time, I didn't even know the meaning of the word, but now, I live for it. My world revolves around the calm before the storm; if you find peace within yourself and ride it out long enough, you react differently, to everything around you."

"What do you want for yourself?"

“I long for tranquility in my life, something more than the meager amount of peace meditation can bring. I crave eternal solace in the world around me; to feel comfortable with every step I take toward a future I cannot see.”

Algren-san, I already tried to find who I am and what I want to be.. but, I haven't find it. Sometimes I felt a little bit sad when I see all my friends already have their own dreams and their purpose to live.

“It will come to you, eventually. You must practice a lot of patience, or you will forever believe the only way, is the way of others. Search deep within yourself and find out who you truly are inside — it will shine a light for you, and you will know.”

Wooden Samurai Sword; I still own this, even though it was bought quite a number of years ago. I had to put it elsewhere cause my living arrangements have since changed, but it's so beautiful. The markings are lovely. I'll have to take an up-to-date photograph of it sometime.

The Last Samurai Starters

"They say Japan was made by a sword." "You believe a man can change his destiny?" "Tell me how he died." "But we cannot forget who we are, or where we came from." "I miss our conversations." "What do you want from me?" "What do you want for yourself?" "I think this is a very good death." "Don't you have a rebellion to lead?" "I have never seen such discipline." "No disrespect intended sir, but shove it up your ass." "The perfect blossom is a rare thing." "You do not have to die here." "There is life in every breath."
