Mongol General to Conan: "What is best in life?"

Conan: "To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."

Conan, "Civilized men are more discorteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.".....Really?

Conan "If that's true, then answer me this Priest, why are we in these pits hiding from some animal?" Conan asked "Someday when all your civilization and science are likewise swept away, your kind will pray for a man with a sword."

Really weird...b/c that exactly what JA said when I asked him why he showed up at the AM class!

PS. Great job to all who crushed it...50% of it is 90% mental!

Conan:

“Let me live deep while I live; let me know the rich juices of red meat and stinging wine on my palate, the hot embrace of white arms, the mad exultation of battle when the blue blades flame and crimson, and I am content. Let teachers and priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content."

"Barbarism is the natural state of mankind," the borderer said, still staring somberly at the Cimmerian. "Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And barbarism must always ultimately triumph.”

Conan:

"Did you deem yourself strong, because you were able to twist the heads off civilized folk, poor weaklings with muscles like rotten string? Hell! Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!"

Brutal. Matt your right about 50% of it being 90% mental.

Eric,
BTW, the last time I had the opportunity to see you at CF was several months ago sitting to the side watching us as you waited for beginners class to begin. Welcome to the next level! You did some amazing work on those burpees today. Keep up the hard work!

Thanks Maria! One day I'll be able to keep up with the girls....
