A mote, not a quote
A quote on the topic of ‘pure survival’
The king said to the jester;
“I would prefer my dear Jester that you make me a mote,
rather than give me another one of your quotes.”
“Less the enemy will seize you and I
and put an end to both of our collective wisdom’s forever.”
Do you hear me properly this time!?”
