 | While giving Jedi training to Luke Skywalker, Yoda
says: "Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do
you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force,
and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its
energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this
crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; between you, me,
the tree, the rock, everywhere. Yes, even between the land and the
ship." (David K. Miller) |
