?Our own ambitions and tasks that we set for ourselves, the framework we attempt to impose upon the world, is no more than a shadow from a tree cast across the snow. It will change as the sun moves, be swallowed by the night, sway with the wind, and when the smooth snow vanishes, it will lie disorted upon the uneven earth. But the tree continues to be. Do you understand that??
//Robin Hobb
