Book heroes and their mental resilience.
Why do we love our book heroes? It’s not because they are all gifted. It’s not because they are all trained warriors or athletes. It’s not because they are perfect. We love them because they show resilience in the face of adversity. Now, it may seem silly that I was thinking on this just this…

“Honvil approached to commence the lesson. ‘The more passionate and wild the creature your form takes, the harder it is to maintain control over the form without submitting completely to its instinctive desires. There are cases where some of our kindred have lost control of their second forms, and through that lapse, have let the animal mind take over completely.’
Honvil paused to let his words register.
‘If you lose that control,’ he continued, ‘even for a moment, there is great risk that your mind will be consumed by the animal itself. Those who lose control in this way usually live out their life in that form, never returning to society.”

“I saw Deson had his arm around you this morning.’
Siray stiffened at Baindan’s words, and she immediately stood, uncomfortable with this new topic, but Baindan continued to float there, leisurely moving his arms under the water. ‘I didn’t realise he had done that until this morning,’ she said, a bit defensively.
Baindan stood up as well, shrugging his shoulders as water streamed from his bare torso, and moved closer. ‘It’s alright. It was dark. I should have done it.’ His grey eyes considered her.
Siray raised one eyebrow. ‘Nothing has happened between Deson and I.’
Baindan shrugged again. ‘Technically, nothing has happened between us either.’ He stepped closer still, his body now only an arm’s length away from her. ‘But that doesn’t mean there isn’t something there.”

“I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose. A fool takes in all the lumber of every sort that he comes across, so that the knowledge which might be useful to him gets crowded out, or at best is jumbled up with a lot of other things, so that he has a difficulty in laying his hands upon it. Now the skillful workman is very careful indeed as to what he takes into his brain-attic. He will have nothing but the tools which may help him in doing his work, but of these he has a large assortment, and all in the most perfect order. It is a mistake to think that that little room has elastic walls and can distend to any extent. Depend upon it there comes a time when for every addition of knowledge you forget something that you knew before. It is of the highest importance, therefore, not to have useless facts elbowing out the useful ones.”

“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”
