"The sharks envy our ferocity. The eels envy our cunning."
「海の如く在れ。動かざるものの周りを流れ、容赦なく他の誰にも襲い掛かれ。」
"Be like the sea: flow around that which is unmovable; for everything else, crash into it unrelentingly."
"We are not an empire, and I am not a queen. But I speak with the shout of the rivers and the whisper of the clinging mist."
