“Because this, as it turned out, was her destiny. Not to be the powerful sorceress her people had been waiting for , not to to be the ruthless killer the assassins needed. Her destiny was to save one person at a time, change things one tiny step after another.
It still hurt, a tinge of loss. Her life wouldn't be grand, or dramatic, or momentous. There would be no great choices to make, no moments when everything would change. It would make a dull story if she was ever called upon to tell it.
It hurt, yes. But it was also something of a relief.”

“One step is better than no steps.”
― Rebecca Brockway quoting 14-year-old son Carlino

“My goals may seem impossibly far-fetched when really they're not.  
Break them down into steps and see how I accomplish great things.  
I can easily reach from A to B.  I can manage from B to C. I can then make it from C to D.  
And so eventually, I will find my way from A to Z.”

“Take it one step at a time—inarguably wise advice. And yet we all take a running leap, hoping the wind will catch us on its wings and lift us clear to the top of the beanstalk. Those few Jacks who have reached new heights in this manner inevitably wish they had taken more time to prepare for the overbearing giant who greeted them.”
