About This Quote

Most people want to be perceived as Katana swords, but they don't spend enough time in the forge to even be butter knives. The idea that you can slice through anything with a sword is very appealing. Katana swords are meant to cut through enemies. They are sharp and dangerous, like speaking in a loud voice or walking into traffic.

Butter knives are meant to spread smiles and comfort food. They are soft and gooey, like hugging someone for doing well on an assignment or helping out at home.
