“The best chance you have if you wanna rise to the top, is to give yourself up to loneliness. Fear nothing, and work hard. One thing you’ll discover is that life is based less than you think on what you’ve learned, and much more than you think on what you have inside you right from the beginning.”

After a viking battle the surviving warriors from the losing side were placed on a tree trunk and chained. A man with a a great battle axe started chopping their heads off one by one. A prisoner asked if somone could hold his long fair hair away from his neck for a cleaner cut. When the axe fell the prisoner yanked his head away and the axe cut off the hands of the man holding his hair.
