This journey 1 percent finished. is my command of english off? this sentence is a lyrical way to write "this journey which only 1 percent have" finished ... not this journey is 1 percent finished ... ;D

"We have only completed one percent of the journey".

I.e., the work is never done. Urgency is forever, because no matter how much you've done, most of the work is still ahead of you, so don't slack off.

I think the original quote was transcribed with a missing word: "This journey is one percent finished".

> Nor this.

"You're not in a crusade against a monolithic force. You're raging against a billion individuals (...)"

Own up to what you said, at the very least.
