Shōgun is more than epic battles and political intrigue, it’s also a meditation on surrender. This quote cuts to the core of what makes the book feel spiritually grounded: the humility of knowing what’s not yours to fix. It’s not just storytelling, it’s philosophy in motion.
"There’s no fanatic like a converted fanatic." - Shogun, James Clavell
