Nolan Banks quote: "Yet the greatest temple in existence is not one found on a mountain top or in a jungle, it is far more simple than that, for there is no greater temple than one of the heart and mind. For what resides in it is constantly what is truly worshiped by a man, in feeling for it and reflecting on is what he prostates himself upon."

Any mind that bears much wisdom, shares a body with a heart that bears many wounds.
