"The
frightening nature of knowledge leaves one no alternative but to become a warrior. It is the consistent choice of the path with heart which makes the warrior different from the average person. She knows that a path has heart when she is one with it, when she experiences a great peace and pleasure traversing its length. Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you. . . Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself and yourself alone one question: Does this path have a heart? If the path does, it is good. If not, it is of no use. A woman of knowledge chooses a path with a heart and follows it and then she looks and rejoices and laughs and then she sees and knows. She knows that her life will be over altogether too soon. She knows that she as well as everybody else is not going anywhere. She knows because she sees… A woman of knowledge endeavors and sweats and puffs and if one looks at her she is just like any ordinary woman, except that the folly of her life is under control.
