... For me, and maybe me alone... I see myself as an expression of the aspects from which I was born. As the skies form a storm over the endless ocean, so was I born. I think... it's for me to not to rule over it, as if I were a separate thing... but live as the truest expression of myself as I can be, unadulterated as a raging torrent or a gentle wind.

( ... not that he hasn't compromised that "no need to rule" bit for love, but... shhh... )
