"When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life. That which has become hard shall not triumph." -- Stalker, 1979

"And don't forget to say a word
Of fire-headed prayer
And if it's not within you, well
Ask someone who is there"
