Quotation from: The Art of War

Written by: Sunzi (6th cent. B.C.)


[Literally, "hides under the ninth earth," which is a
metaphor indicating the utmost secrecy and concealment, so that
the enemy may not know his whereabouts."]


he who is skilled in attack flashes forth from the topmost
heights of heaven.


[Another metaphor, implying that he falls on his adversary
like a thunderbolt, against which there is no time to prepare.
This is the opinion of most of the commentators.]
