"The hut is not a base for reconquest, but a stopping-off point. A haven of renunciation, not a headquarters for the preparation of revolutions. An exit door, not a departure point. A saloon where the captain drinks his last rum before sinking. The hole where the beast dresses its wounds, not the lair where it forges its claws."
