    I was on one of my world 'walkabouts.' It had taken me once more through Hong Kong, to Japan, Australia, and then Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific [one of the places I grew up]. There I found the picture of 'the Father.' It was a real, gigantic Saltwater Crocodile (whose picture is now featured on page 1 of TEETH).

    From that moment, 'the Father' began to swim through the murky recesses of my mind. Imagine! I thought, men confronting the world’s largest reptile on its own turf! And what if they were stripped of their firearms, so they must face this force of nature with nothing but hand weapons and wits?

    We know that neither whales nor sharks hunt individual humans for weeks on end. But, Dear Reader, crocodiles do! They are intelligent predators that choose their victims and plot their attacks. So, lost on its river, how would our heroes escape a great hunter of the Father’s magnitude? And what if these modern men must also confront the headhunters and cannibals who truly roam New Guinea?

    What of tribal wars, the coming of Christianity and materialism (the phenomenon known as the 'Cargo Cult'), and the people’s introduction to 'civilization' in the form of world war? What of first contact between pristine tribal culture and the outside world? What about tribal clashes on a global scale—the hatred and enmity between America and Japan, from Pearl Harbor, to the only use in history of atomic weapons? And if the world could find peace at last, how about Johnny and Katsu?

    …having once seen him put forth his strength in battle, methinks I could know him again among a thousand warriors. He rushes into the fray as if he were summoned to a banquet. There is more than mere strength--there seems as if the whole soul and spirit of the champion were given to every blow which he deals upon his enemies. God assoilzie him of the sin of bloodshed! It is fearful, yet magnificent, to behold how the arm and heart of one man can triumph over hundreds.

  • Warrior Quote #6

    A few days later, Tuesday quietly crossed our apartment as I read a book and, after a nudge against my arm, put his head on my lap. As always, I immediately checked my mental state, trying to assess what was wrong. I knew a change in my biorhythms had brought Tuesday over, because he was always monitoring me, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Breathing? Okay. Pulse? Normal. Was I glazed or distracted? Was I lost in Iraq? Was a dark period descending? I didn't think so, but I knew something must be wrong, and I was starting to worry...until I looked into Tuesday's eyes. They were staring at me softly from under those big eyebrows, and there was nothing in them but love.

  • Warrior Quote #7

    A karate practitioner should possess two things : wicked hands, and Buddha's heart

    Soke Behzad Ahmadi
  • Warrior Quote #8

    A Martial Artist may become A professional fighter but not every Fighter is capable of becoming A martial artist. Martial Arts are about restoration of physical and spiritual balance and fluidity; they are about observing restraints and 'setting example'. Every practice session is A reminder of the play of opposites (yin and yang), . . . .

  • Warrior Quote #9

    A responsible Warrior is not someone who takes the weight of the world on his shoulders, but someone who has learned to deal with the challenges of the moment.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Warrior Quote #10

    A samurai chooses to serve a master and does it out of respect and love, not because they are forced. Service to them is not demeaning; service is an expression of their prowess and their pride; they serve because only they are strong enough to serve with such flawless perfection and such consummate ability. It is a source of pride to them.

    Alexei Maxim Russell
  • Warrior Quote #11

    A soldier came to Hakuin and asked Is there really a paradise and a hell?
    Who are you? inquired Hakuin.

    I am a samurai, the warrior replied.

    You, a samurai! exclaimed Hakuin. What kind of ruler would have you as his guard? Your face looks like that of a beggar!

    The soldier became so angry that he began to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued. So you have a sword! Your weapon is probably as dull as your head!

    As the soldier drew his sword Hakuin remarked Here open the gates of hell!

    At these words, the samurai, perceiving the discipline of the master, sheathed his sword and bowed.

    Here open the gates of paradise, said Hakuin

    A Spiritual Warrior looks for the most efficient and effective way to accomplish something -- the most direct way is a living truth.

  • Warrior Quote #13

    A threat should never be spoken, your enemy should not be told of your intentions. Either take decisive action or refrain from it, but never threaten

  • Warrior Quote #14

    A true martial artist welcomes change; He is A catalyst, A cause, A force of nature

  • Warrior Quote #15

    A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill. A true warrior trains endlessly that he may return home alive.

    R. Calloway
  • Warrior Quote #16

    A true warrior,” she said, “does not fight because he wishes to but because he has to. A man who yearns for war, a man who enjoys his killing, he is a brute and a monster. No matter how much glory he wins on the battlefield, that cannot erase the fact that he is no better than a rabid wolf who will turn on his friends and family as soon as his foes.

    Christopher Paolini
  • Warrior Quote #17

    A warrior always, you lift a hand to create or destroy as you will, and heed no one's call but your own. And all the while, my one breathless thought, repeating as though I know nothing else...Take me with you.

    Donya Petrock
  • Warrior Quote #18

    A warrior must cultivate the feeling that he has everything
    needed for the extravagant journey that is his life. What counts
    for a warrior is being alive. Life in itself is sufficient,
    self-explanatory and complete.
    Therefore, one may say without being presumptuous that the
    experience of experiences is being alive.

    Carlos Castaneda
  • Warrior Quote #19

    A Warrior of Light does not postpone making decisions.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Warrior Quote #20

    A Warrior of the Light does not waste his time listening to provocations; he has a destiny to fulfill.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Warrior Quote #21

    A warrior of the Light is never in a hurry.

    Time works in his favor; he learns to master his impatience and avoids acting without thinking.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Warrior Quote #22

    A Warrior of the Light makes decisions. His soul is as free as the clouds in the sky, but he is committed to his dream. On his freely chosen path, he often has to get up earlier than he would like, speak to people from whom he learns nothing, make certain sacrifices.

    His friends say: “You’re not free.”

    The Warrior is free. But he knows that an open oven bakes no bread.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Warrior Quote #23

    A warrior walks alone in the dark.

    Lailah Gifty Akita
  • Warrior Quote #24

    Act with the heart of the warrior.

    Bohdi Sanders
  • Warrior Quote #25

    After years of research, depth psychologists and others argue that each sex carries both the psychological and physical traits of the other. No man is purely masculine, just as there is no purely feminine woman. Jungian psychologists call the feminine characteristics of the male psyche the Anima; the female psyche's masculine characteristics they the Animus.
    Both the Animus and Anima develop in complex fashion as the personality grows to maturity. Neither men nor women can reach psychological maturity without integrating their respective contrasexual other. A man's female elements enhance his manhood, just as a woman's male aspects enhance her womanhood.

    Almighty Father, do not destroy mankind. Save us from every calamity.

    Lailah Gifty Akita
  • Warrior Quote #27

    An apprentice electrician must be initiated by an experienced master into the mysteries of electricity's sources, methods of generation, and technologies of distribution. Whatever the apprentice does not take care to understand is a danger to him, because electricity carries force enough to kill him. In similar fashion all human beings need to be initiated into the wise and life-enhancing uses of human psychological resources. Where misunderstood, the energies of our psyches can wreak havoc upon our lives. Despite the elaborate training our modern society provides an individual mastering a trade, we do not think to offer anything similar to the man who wishes to master his own psyche. But our lack of teachers doesn't change or need to learn how to access the powerful energies of our deep souls

  • Warrior Quote #28

    And he always checks that he carries three things with him: faith, hope, and love.

    Paulo Coelho
  • Warrior Quote #29

    And what about your brother, Agus? Will he be entertaining us with his pipes?”

    “Ahgg,” Shanks rasped, wrinkling his nose. “I didn’t tell you? He ain’t with us no more.” A heavy fist slammed on the arm of the Viidun’s chair as he growled, “The idiot went off and got himself killed!”

    “What?” Derian and Eena replied in unison, both horrified by the news.

    “You heard me,” Shanks bellowed. “The crazy fool should’ve known when to duck. He died in a bloody challenge with some brainless Deramptium! A downright disgraceful way to die! I’m ashamed to say he was my brother!”

    “That’s a little harsh, isn’t it?” Eena muttered, mostly speaking to Derian.

    “What was that?” the Viidun demanded.

    Derian whispered a hush to Eena. Addressing Shanks, he expressed their condolences. “We are truly sorry for your loss. Your brother will be sorely missed. On the other hand, we look forward to welcoming you and your crew aboard the Kemeniroc.” Derian held up his right hand, extending his thumb and two adjoining fingers. “Strength, truth, and honor, friend,” he said, ending their conversation.

    “Strength, truth, and honor,” Shanks repeated.

    The screen went black.

    The captain turned to Eena who was still in shock.

    “You have to understand,” he explained, “the Viiduns are a fiercely competitive people with proud, warring ways. Their culture doesn’t call for much sympathy between their own kind, especially when it appears one of them has failed to live up to expectations.”

    Eena was still disturbed by the lack of compassion. “But, that was his brother.”

    “I know. I can hardly believe it myself. Shanks and Agus were very close. They traveled everywhere together. All I can figure is it’s easier for Shanks to express his anger than his anguish.”

    “After all that, I’m not sure I want to meet him in person. He scares me,” she admitted.

    Derian laughed. “He scares everyone. That’s why you want to keep him as an ally, and not make him an enemy.

  • Warrior Quote #30

    Any self-defense situation has the potential to quickly become A 'life and death' situation, therefore your practice of martial arts should be undertaken, as if your very life depends on it . . .
