Quotes by M.L. Wang  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Wholeness, she had learned, was not the absence of pain but the ability to hold it.”
M.L. Wang, The Sword of Kaigen

“Listen, son… when I was your age, I had to face truths that seemed to break the world. That’s what happens when you come into contact with people who aren’t quite like you. You learn over time that the world isn’t broken. It’s just… got more pieces to it than you thought. They all fit together, just maybe not the way you pictured when you were young.”
M.L. Wang, The Sword of Kaigen

“It’s much easier to tell yourself you’re a good person than it is to actually be one.”
M.L. Wang, Blood Over Bright Haven

“The funny thing about power is that no matter what you think it is, or how much you think you have, it's the people above and all around you who get the final say.”
Miracle Wang, Planet Adyn

“I’m not sure how old I was when I first tried looking in the mirror and telling myself, with a shiver of pride and a warning prickle of something like fear, ‘I am the most powerful person in the world.’ In a way, it was true. My hands and mind could do things no one else’s could, but I was too young then to understand that some power—the kind that really matters—comes from other people. And what good is being faster, or stronger, or smarter than everyone else when it leaves you all alone?”
Miracle Wang, Planet Adyn

“Power means different things to different people. For poets and politicians, words are power. For some, money is power. For most of Earth’s history, weaponry and resources have constituted power. My grandfather always told me—and I believed for many years—that knowledge was power. But the funny thing about power is that no matter what you think it is, or how much you think you have, it’s the people above and all around you who get the final say.”
Miracle Wang, Planet Adyn

“He's probably out there in the hallway right now, composing bad poetry in his head." Michi cleared her throat, her voice taking on a breathless lilt:

"Pale Fox's Daughter,
Her cherry lips haunt my dreams.
Something, something, breasts...”
Jay Kristoff, Stormdancer
